Saw this regarding the massive falls in TV viewers in American sports this last year and was wondering if a similar thing is happening here with the football?

That’s pretty interesting. I’d have thought viewing figures for televised sport would be through the roof given there’s little else to do in our spare time at the moment.

What channels are they on? Could it partly be explained by more viewing through illegal streams which presumably wouldn't be counted?
There's maybe also a more wide ranging disconnect from sport without the ability to be there or due to there being noone there for the atmosphere side of things making them less appealing.Mon the Hibs.

Those behind a paywall, not so much.
I hardly watch any non hibs football now as it just seems like it is on TV all the time.

The Paywall is a factor but I also think for some of the bigger events they have been estimating pub and club crowds. Two folk in the bar count as 60+ depending to the pub licence. So no pubs and automatically that number will go down.

There's a lot of champions league/anything that isn't Hibs football that I've not watched this year that I would likely have went to the pub for a few pints to watch with friends normally.Mon the Hibs.

Sport is soulless and devalued without fans. Commentators struggle to get enthused, sitting on their own or in a studio. Those figures will drop off further, unless we get crowds back into stadia.
Expect there to be a renewed appreciation of what fans bring to sport, once this is all over.

Could be IPTV related, but in the modern world with modern work schedules, a lot of people don't have time to sit for 4 hours and watch the superbowl, all day for the masters, potentially dedicating 6 nights to the world series etc. Don't imagine our figures would be as drastic as football and rugby are much less time consuming (as well as fans being more tribal in their loyalty to their clubs than Americans tend to be)

Most of the people I know have cut down on the amount of football they watch on TV compared to 3 or 4 years ago.
The novelty has worn off and there aren't enough good games. A lot of it is pretty boring stuff.

I think that the lack of Scottish players so I can't relate to it and theintroduction of 4 places in the Champions League probably has a lot to do with it. Doesn't really matter who wins the league, it's all about top 4 now.

Everyone just watches streams now. I think the actual viewing figures will be very high, I personally am watching plenty of games but I won't be on the statistics.

I'm not watching anywhere near as much football as i used to do. I have iptv, but to be perfectly honest, it's used more these days for tv series and films.
I obviously watch Hibs games, and if there is a game that takes my fancy on sky, then i will probably tune in, although apart from seeing Burnley v Crystal Palace is on, and i know that because i saw it mentioned on here, i dont know any other games that are on today or indeed this weekend.

I'd imagine a fair bit lower but not sure it takes away from the point that football has went beyond its saturation point and there's a huge number of games on. I just used it as an example as it was the first game on sky sports today.
Was Hibs v Aberdeen on TV last weekend? I didn't think it was.

Surely it cant be iptv related. If your looking at the percentages from the year before as a comparison to this year , then surely iptv would have to be factored into both sets of figures. Its entirely possible that the figures maxed out last year. The global pandemic must surely be a huge part in the decline. I definitely have watched far less sport this past year as it is a hard watch without the fans , and it is a constant reminder of the current crappy climate in which we currently find ourselves living in.

I can’t remember the last game I watched on TV, my change in working hours mean I haven’t seen a televised game for months. Finally get to watch Liverpool at 12.30 today.

Thinking back 7 or 8 years I used to watch any football that was on TV. Going back further to 10 or 12 years and every Sunday was a sesh with mates watching all the live games.
Obviously personal circumstances change a lot in a decade but I rarely watch football on TV now and it's more than just having a long term partner and a child. If there is nothing else on I might watch a bit but that's rare because there is so much choice on what else to watch. I'd genuinely rather watch a good cooking show or travel documentary than a football match.
Even the Hibs games are pretty soulless without fans. I watch them because it's Hibs but I find myself zoning out for long periods. I aceept I'm maybe in the minority with that one though. Being totally honest when watching a game in the pub or even going to a Hibs game the football is often a sideshow. I like meeting my mates or meeting my parents, having a few drinks, a catch up and a laugh. The football is sometimes a vehicle for doing that rather than the main event.
