Of course, we do but aside from that, our total audience is much bigger. You can’t just hang your hat on, ‘okay ratings are down’… We’re never off the air.” He noted that they’re doing all they can to improve the ratings with the ThunderDome, better writing, and talent. Michael Weitz noted they’re confident about their TV rights going up in the next rounds of contract talks.
