47. CBS lost Conservative viewers a couple of decades ago

Thursday

None of them came back under Weiss.

MAGA Fox viewers were not ever going to switch to CBS.

Lose Liberal viewers with the hope of getting viewers that gave up a long time ago. Nope, that ain't gonna work.

Great lesson in how not to do marketing. Know your audience.

Personally I haven't watched network TV for a long time. I think the last thing I watched was the Lost series. My wife watched Young Sheldon but that was about it.
