I expected a drop but not one like that. That TNT drop is huge, and is really a gauge on where the league is in terms of TV. Their first TNT game was an NBA All-Star lead-in, so it wasn't really indicative of interest in the league. They better find another way to make money because, with numbers like these, they aren't going to get much for TV in a deal next year.

A cut of over half in that TNT game? And wait until March Madness happens on that other TNT game...

I don't think that's a fair comparison for the TNT slot. Different time, different lead in, different novelty level.

The NFLN slot, on the other hand ...

Well, what do you expect when you never know where to find the darn games!

I think that's the biggest issue they're facing. I'm actively seeking out the games, but for a casual observer they're not gonna have a clue what's going on.
