Well done, trueblue. This is important. While the Bulls are still leading the league in attendance, Bulls management knows that low local TV ratings is the precursor of reduced attendance. Though the Bulls typically have the league's highest attendance, they sank to 9th in the Tim Floyd era. I doubt that these numbers are playing well in the board room.
Agreed......this is a good find. Historically this has been the only thing that's prompted drastic changes at the top of the organization, so if these trends continue then it's probably a good bet that it'll eventually force management's hand. The Bulls really don't seem to like change at the top, but they like reduced ratings and profitability even less.
Thanks guys. This has to be hurting them. We were used to being in the playoffs. Then missed it last season. We are below .500 right now. People are tired of the front office and of this team.
