Grammy Awards viewership falls to record low
axios.com ^

Posted on 03/15/2021 1:32:38 PM PDT by Conserv

Just 8.8 million people tuned into the Grammy Awards on CBS this year, a new all-time low for the music awards show, according to near-final Nielsen ratings.

Why it matters: In a sign of how much the pandemic has sped up ratings declines for award shows, the Grammy's ratings were still the highest for any major award show in the past year.

The Golden Globes were viewed by just 6.9 million people this year, a record low. Viewership of the Emmys last September dropped 11% year-over-year to just 6.1 million viewers, another record low. Prior to Sunday, 2006 was the lowest-rated Grammy Awards with 17 million viewers.

What do they expect, when among the popular songs is a song which we can’t say the name of out loud, or print out the lyrics to such a song?

Let them wallow in their filthy smut. They’ve basically destroyed the entertainment biz.

So the Pandemic is to blame for lack of viewership? Who believes that????? Let’s face it, the music is crappy and all they do is celebrate each other and their liberal beliefs.

The pandemic?? Really?

Continuously lying to oneself is the reason bad things continue to happen to you.

The Oscars await. Must Miss TV. The Tonys I assume are canceled since Broadway is completely shut down. The last thing I recall from that was De Niro yelling F....Trump multiple times.

But wouldn’t millions of people stuck at home boost TV ratings—people being starved for entertainment and all?

I saw Briana got an X-rating for her performance....unsurprisingly as she’s quite an obsessive exhibitionist. similar to the likes of Miley Cyrus.
