Guess with ABC hiking their Hulu bundle and ESPN streams, they'll need all the ratings they can get. So, is January when they both return?

JasonA1:
Here's an article from outside ABC talking about the changes. It does touch upon the fact that the game shows could get a continuous, consistent airing pattern as a result, which is something I've always hoped for them. A big thing that can make a game successful is if it becomes a habit.

93 of the 100 most watched TV "episodes" last year were NFL games. There is no reason for Disney not to try and maximize their ability to broadcast the games they have.

In the push to make streaming a thing for all the various reasons, broadcasters failed to understand that one of the things that make a TV show in any genre successful is persistence. Letting a show run consistently on a day and time, even if it's in reruns, will train the audience to watch it and prevent the series from leaving the audience's memory. You can't be the most talked-about show or whatever if you aren't on the air most of the year.

Hence why Family Feud and Judge Judy are always at the top. You can hardly find a time of day when one of those shows is NOT on.
