Unmentioned In The Article, But Fewer People Who Aren’t Sports Fans Want To Pay $70+ For Cable/a Live-streaming

Can NBA Ratings Grow Again? Don’t Bet on It
New VIP+ Analysis: The new season is poised to be as competitive as ever, but a number of factors could keep TV ratings from climbing.

Unmentioned in the article, but fewer people who aren’t sports fans want to pay $70+ for cable/a live-streaming cable service anymore, especially for basically three channels: ESPN, TNT, and a regional sports network. Even dropping the regional sports network only reduces the cost to $35 (for Sling TV), which is still a hefty increase on what I pay for on-demand streaming services.

Maybe one reason the NFL is the US’ most popular sport: it’s available on over-the-air TV, even for local games.
