All that and Hulu still buries it down to the last place when searching sports channels, and cables even worse. They ever going to put it next to espn? It’s viewer abuse

I ditched Hulu for fubo. If nothing else, there I get to arrange the channels in the guide to my preferences.

The thing I love about You Tube TV, you can make your own menu. FS1 is at the top!

Just saw this-
Sunday’s @UConnWBB win was the most-watched women’s basketball game EVER on @CBBonFOX , clocking in with nearly 700,000 viewers.

Imagine if Paige Buckets was playing(and sounds like she might be close to returning!)

Continued cord cutting reflected in latest cable TV distribution numbers
Pay TV distributors dropped close to 400,000 subscribers last month, according to a monthly estimate Nielsen puts out. The total number of multichannel homes in the U.S. fell to 82.143 million, per Nielsen.

For the past several decades -- even as distribution numbers grew rapidly -- network execs consistently suggested that we take these numbers with a grain of salt. Nielsen refers to them estimates, after all. But these numbers are effective in highlighting broader trends in the distribution marketplace, and the report released this week shows a window into how cord cutting is affecting networks.

Every network that carries sports saw their distribution numbers drop -- except for Big Ten Network -- which inexplicably posted a 46,000 month-over-month household increase. Not surprisingly, the biggest networks that show sports all have distribution above 77 million (TBS, TNT, ESPN, ESPN2, USA and FS1).

With 79.473 million homes, Discovery Channel has the highest distribution of any U.S. cable network.

March 2022 cable network distribution in the U.S.
NETWORK HOMES (000)
TBS 78,842
TNT 78,731
ESPN 78,693
ESPN2 78,301
USA Network 77,877
FS1 77,156
Golf Channel 63,724
FS2 59,105
NFL Network 56,648
ESPNU 54,067
Big Ten Network 53,386
Tennis Channel 47,743
MLB Network 46,895
Olympic Channel 45,801
NBA TV 42,383

I remember when ESPN was over 90K. FS2 is in 5k more homes than ESPNU.
