July 25, 20197 yr Behavioral changes. Also the article doesn’t specifically cite Mlb.tv in their streaming options. Maybe they were excluded. Locals can’t view through that until the game is archived so in theory anyone watching them that way isn’t local so if they’ve been watching the marlins from another market Last year they probably did this year too
July 25, 20197 yr I know I've watched more games on FoxSportsGo (on my computer) than on TV this year. I can let the game play off to the side, while using my TV for video games. I figured TV ratings would be about even vs. last year, but 13% may not be much, and especially if you consider the streaming numbers, overall numbers may be about flat. They'll surely grow when/as the team does better - as with in-person attendance, people tuning in won't want to watch a bad team.
July 25, 20197 yr Author I think most TV series would show similar results. Lower ratings, higher streaming numbers.

July 25, 20197 yr Side note - when did the Submit Reply button become gray instead of red? Look around the site. Notice anything different considering this weekend?
July 25, 20197 yr Look around the site. Notice anything different considering this weekend? Ohhhhh look at that. Good job! I click the topics and they jump down to my unread post, so I didn't notice the upper banner.

July 25, 20197 yr Whoever analyzes this stuff better not really be looking at TV ratings alone without accounting for how many people no longer have traditional TV. That would be like saying nobody is watching movies in 2019 because VHS sales are down.

That would be like saying nobody is watching movies in 2019 because VHS sales are down. Good point. Some people look at this and think "streaming" means MLB.tv or Fox Sports Go. No, it also includes those people who canceled Comcast, Dish, DirecTV, etc and switched to YouTubeTV, PS Vue, DirecTV Now, etc.
July 25, 20197 yr Good point. Some people look at this and think "streaming" means MLB.tv or Fox Sports Go. No, it also includes those people who canceled Comcast, Dish, DirecTV, etc and switched to YouTubeTV, PS Vue, DirecTV Now, etc. Like me. I canceled cable in February and went with YouTube TV. So I haven't watched a single baseball game on traditional TV this year. Does this mean I no longer watch the Marlins? Not at all as I now watch all the games on YouTube TV. I could be wrong but at first glance I would actually think "TV ratings down but streaming numbers up" actually means more people are watching the team this year considering how many more people have switched to streaming in recent years. It's no longer a small group of people who stream TV, it's growing by the day.
July 25, 20197 yr I actually went with cable after moving. *shrug* Got tired of having Statcast (Baseball Savant) update games before I saw it happen. Lol

July 25, 20197 yr Author You're able to get Marlins games on YouTube TV? If you're in the market yeah. You get your regional sports network.
July 25, 20197 yr If you're in the market yeah. You get your regional sports network. Interesting. That's pretty cool.
July 25, 20197 yr Seriously, if Fox Sports go just offered a subscription, I would just do that and probably nothing else. All I watch is YouTube and sports.
July 25, 20197 yr You're able to get Marlins games on YouTube TV? Yes you get your regional sports network so if you're in the market then yes.
