a lot of it was the decline of the College football playoff, and the baseball increase.
ESPN's total audience by my calculations declined by 70.5 million viewers(in 1 extra day)
FS1's total audience increased by 41.4 million viewers(in 1 extra day)
For ESPN just the difference in Cotton Bowl and title game vs Sugar Bowl and Title game was an amazing 17.3 million viewers.
FS1 NLCS with the Cubs had 41.4 million viewers in 2016.
FS1 ALCS w/o the Cubs had 16.6 million viewers in 2015
All of FS1's 2016 games were in prime time. of the 5 games on FS1 in 2015, only 3 were in prime time. Those 3 got a total of 11.4 million viewers.
So 30 million of the 41.4 million prime time increase was just in the LCS for FS1.
then ALDS-
2015 3 prime time games- FS1 drew 11.618 million
2016 4 prime time games- FS1 drew 20.321 million
so in the LDS difference in prime time was 8.7 million viewers.
So 38.7 of 41.4 increase was just the MLB playoffs. 93.5%.
For ESPN, their Fiesta Bowl on Saturday night dropped to 18.396 million from 18.592 million(because ESPN did multi-cast.
