It's the reason WWE's re up with USA wasn't anywhere near what you'd have thought it would be given the ratings they pull.

You should see how cheaply Sinclair tries to sell ROH. It's discounted even in the shitty timeslots most of their stations aired it. A complete disaster almost across the board, ratings were flatline (0.0 aka too small to be measured) in most markets that I saw.

Edit to add: it was frequently so bad that even at $5/spot (remember, I'm talking about the local market rates) it was overpriced.
