[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1803412, member: 10336"] As far as I am aware, this isn't true. The last time I checked (late last season) CBS and NBC don't include streaming numbers in their viewership numbers. That may have changed, but I haven't found a definitive statement on this. CBS and NBC may have a low amount of streamers, but ESPN and BTN/Fox most likely have a lot more because they promote them much harder, and have a lot more content for the cord cutters than the 4 or 5 CFB games CBS and NBC might broadcast between them on a Saturday. First, Roku, AppleTv, FireSticks, Android TV, etc. are all considered "Cord Cutters", they simply provide an a la carte method to accessing streaming via apps rather than a large subscription. Second, you have no way of knowing if that is a rounding error or not, because as I said before, some of those providers don't disclose if they include streaming stats in their ratings. Anecdotal, of course, but I know a LOT of people that stream on their PC or an app on their TV/device. I've often got a game going on the TV while I'm streaming a different game on the laptop, and based on my Reddit interactions, I'm far from the only one. [/QUOTE]
