FX begins to feel the ratings effect.

When you overprice your product it sits on the shelf for a while. Ultimately, the customer buys at your price or he doesn't...if he doesn't after a long time, the product rots...

Good luck Dish Network. Fox, GTH.

Viewership of FX and Nat Geo has dropped about 25% since the cutoff.

Good article there. Glad it is not just Dish that is going though this. Wanting 150 million up from 70 million is a big jump.

I thought FX had more viewers than that, but could see a decrease of 250,000 can ben hard on a tv channel.

I will miss Nascar if FX doesn't come back, but other than that not that big of deal.

Yeah, when Justified comes back on in February, that'll be the first time I give a real thought to FX at all.

That cited decrease seems kind of anecdotal, arbitrarily comparing the same period in 2 months... when they then mention Sons of Anarchy is only down 10%... which sounds worse than it is because saying it went from 4.29m to 4.134m certainly doesn't paint the bleak picture they were trying to portray.

Check out this thread citing an article outlining 400-500% rate increases for other News Corp channels:

you guys do realize It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Louie, and The League are on FX. How dare any of you say FX doesn't have any good shows. I am going to personally go to each persons house who said FX sucks and punch them in the stomach.

Isn't both Fox and Direct owned mostly by Murdoch.
Seems like their pulling a power play and Dish doesn't want to play.

Nope, Directv was sold off to Liberty.

Exactly.

One needs to compare yearly trends. Are FX ratings decreasing each year? Is it normal for FX ratings to decrease from Sept to Oct?

Well, while I do realize they are all on FX, and while I would think having you stop by my place would be quite an interesting proposition to consider, I do think each one of those shows suck and I haven't found anything on that channel ever worth watching. But that's just my opinion...
