Despite a decline in television ratings over the last two years, the NFL has bounced back and experienced a 5 percent increase in TV viewership this season, according to a report by ESPN.

In the report, it shows that the average game had 15.8 million viewers compared to 14.9 million in 2017. This is still far off from where the league was just two or three years ago. In 2015, the league was averaging 17.9 million viewers a game and in 2016 that number dropped off to 16.5 million.

As detailed by ESPN, 46 of the 50 biggest television broadcasts since the start of the season were NFL games. 

Streaming has also been a factor for the decrease in TV viewership. There was a 86 percent increase in streaming viewership with 13 Thursday night football games streaming on Amazon Prime.

ESPN said analysts believe the success of the big market teams like Dallas and both Los Angeles teams are a contributing factor to why more people tuned into the NFL this year.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
