Survey of Viewership in Swing State Market Shows Republicans Abandoning ESPN in Droves

Cable industry analysts have debated the fall of ESPN for months, especially after its recent shedding of over 100 jobs. There has been much speculation that the network’s liberal tilt has alienated viewers, even as liberals scoff at the notion. But, statistics now show that ESPN really has lost viewers over its constant infusion of left-wing politics into its sports coverage. . . 

Recently, a poll emerged showing that Republicans have begun to turn away from ESPN, but now we have some of the first hard data to prove that, yes, ESPN has lost viewers over the last few years, a time coinciding with the network’s growing amount of liberal content.

According to TV data service Deep Root, viewers that identify as Republican really have quit watching the cable sports network.

Deep Root focused on a swing election state to gather its viewership data over a two-year period.

Maybe ESPN should bring back Keith Albertan ;)
