15. Is It Getting Ratings?

That's the open question they need to ask themselves.
6,200 show up in a 19k+ capacity building, with some leaving early, after no rallies in months.
Is the act getting stale?
Is it really drawing viewers?
Even Faux, with their crowing about great Saturday night ratings, got pinched when data shows their normal Saturday night viewership is 30 to 50 thousand. So, a doubling is only 30 or 50 thousand more people. And that's on Faux.
They claim millions streaming, but given the number of possible routes, they did not have enough time to compile those numbers before the bragging began.
I'm not so sure that PINO is all that good for business anymore.
