The Walking Dead season 7: AMC has an explanation for the fall of hearings
Season 7 of The Walking Dead has not only made the happy and its hearings down are proof. But for AMC, the explanation is not there.
The 7 of The Walking Dead season may well be the most popular of the year on social networks , this is not actually a success so far. Although it has caused the most interaction on Twitter and Facebook, it can not be measured whether the interactions in question were positive or negative. And in any case, this did not prevent a certain drop in its audience. But for AMC, the main reason is not the quality of the series, but rather in the current circumstances that lead a hard life on television . Indeed The Walking Dead is not the only one suffering from a drop in its audience, far from it.
With the boom of video-on-demand services like Netflix, Amazon or even Hulu, paying subscriptions to television channels are declining, but not only. According to a study by Vulture on major networks, only one program saw its audience share climb during the 2016-17 season: the Bachelor. All other series, including Gray’s Anatomy (ABC), The Big Bang Theory (CBS), Supernatural (The CW) and Empire (FOX), lost between 10% and 20% of their audience, To a decrease of 50% . In comparison, The Walking Dead also had to undergo a drop of 15-20% compared to season 6, but nothing that could make us evoke the least risk of cancellation in view of its success.
It is therefore possible that the quality of the series is partly at the origin of this loss of audience, but it is certain that this is also due to a cyclical phenomenon that affects all the series broadcast on television, and this since Several years. Moreover, the fact that The Walking Dead is broadcast on cable does not facilitate its situation . The fact is that people watch television differently and by means that are not always counted by audience calculations. Anyway, we hope that season 8 will be more satisfying for a larger majority of fans and while waiting to find out, you were listed the 5 most crazy theories on The Walking Dead .
