| Not my Supertramp: Devin Graham (right) of The Extreme World of Devin Super Tramp. |
TBD seem to have lost the plot. The same programmes, viral videos. and documentaries (we all can't be Ken Burns) make rerun-reliant Decades, MeTV and Antenna TV seem fresh by comparison. Their six hosts have unceremoniously left the network. This has always been a low-budget, low-rated network to begin with. I thought it was a sports type channel when I first saw it on the CBS 5 CNY Central tier. It's one-of-a-kind more for younger people, but it has grown stale, and can't compete with streaming, where more people are going anyway. The Extreme World of Devin Super Tramp and Parkour Adventures with Jesse la Flair have extreme sports that ESPN may only marginally offer. The pandemic could also have caused cutbacks. FailArmy and The Pet Collective have their own channels on FiOS and some cable systems, but it will be the same material (I'll just wait for the cat videos). If the Nielsens get to non-existent, affiliates may not renew their licence and switch to competitors not yet in their markets (ThisTV, Quest, and Court TV for my area). TBD could also appear on 33.4 in Utica (Fox 33 WFXV is on 33.1).
