THIS JUST IN: WPVI (6abc Philadelphia) has officially SWITCHED and it looks GREAT!!

For starers, you're talking a substantial decline in total eyeballs who cared to watch anyone cover what is a meaningless snooze fest at this point. 19 mill to 11.4....that's like a 40% drop. Great for bargain hunting, not so great for viewership. So who tunes in to foregone conclusion coverage? The die hards looking for their fix. Not surprisingly, that benefits Fox News and MSNBC. I was curious enough in 2020 where there were still contests to watch some coverage. This year, I'd have rather watched paint dry. There was nothing up in the air--we know the top of the tickets, and to the extent there were locally contested races, those are better covered...locally.

Thread cleaned up and unlocked. The user that initiated the disruption has been banned. In the future, I humbly ask members to use the "report post" function and the block tools built into the forum over "backseat modding" users disrupting a thread. -Weeters
