IS there a large difference between max reach of Fox and USA?

IS there a large difference between max reach of Fox and USA?

Network TV >>> Cable TV, so yes.

IS there a large difference between max reach of Fox and USA?

Yes, basically any home with a TV should be able to tune in Fox for free with an antenna, USA would only be available to people who pay for cable or a similar service

So the difference is tens of millions?

Yeah, USA seems to be in about 70-71 million of 125 million tv homes

And Fox is in that 125 million?

 

[Khelandros]

This does not bode well, pertaining to the rumored TV deal.

 

[Unholy Diver]

And Fox is in that 125 million?

Wikipedia says it reaches 97% of US households

Wikipedia says it reaches 97% of US households

So the difference between Fox and USA is around 50 million households? So going from Fox>USA meant around 50 million fewer households and 600K less viewers?

Is that what the numbers come out to? I was just explaining the difference between an over the air broadcast network, and a cable channel. Pretty much any person with a TV can usually get NBC, FOX, ABC, and CBS, then the cable networks have a more limited reach

It's pretty normal for a decline during MNF season.
