However, according to Nielsen cable coverage estimates, this month was actually pretty brutal.
There wasn’t a single sports network that saw an increase in estimated coverage from April to May and many of them saw pretty notable losses including ESPN (-500,000 homes), FS1 (-328,000), NBCSN (-544,000), TNT (-495,000), NFL Network (-842,000), and MLB Network (- 664,000).
“These are not out-of-season drops, but drops at a time while those networks have some of their best content,” according to Awful Announcing. “So there are certainly some things to worry about there.”
Every sports network lost subscribers from April to May as per Nielsen's estimates, and many were hit quite hard.

Not sure what is meant by FOX could not sell the UFC. I was glad to see FOX get the WWE. Big upside compared to UFC. Lots of holes for FS1 to fill without the UFC. Not really saying about the live events on Saturday. More so the replays during the week after college hoops season. The PBA will be on tons on Monday's on FS1.stever20 wrote:I think this is interesting

going to be a weekly studio show on FS1 for WWE...
but this was really interesting IMO....
“We could not sell UFC” at Fox, says a former staffer. “And wrestling is family friendly. If you have wrestling you can find cash. I think it’s a big win for Fox; it’s a great trade-off.”
