Nothing last forever and the sports programming companies are still using the old model of getting sales and retaining viewers. Viewers have so many options now that companies must change their business model to remain competitive and successful. Reality TV has captured a huge audience as well as new and independent tv show options such as Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix. Viewers can record and watch sporting events at any time versus before forced to watch them live.

Sports owners don't really seem to be changing their game plans any to try to earn or retain the viewership of their consumers. It's just business as usual. I'm not a big sports person, but I would imagine the biggest chunk of their revenue comes from actual sporting events anyway, which is a different beast altogether. Even as someone who doesn't watch a whole lot of sports, I do enjoy going to a sporting event, even for teams, and sports I have no interest in. Even so, people are probably more likely to spend the insane amount on tickets to go to a sporting event if they enjoy watching the team. What better way to gain fans and people who want to watch your team than making sure they are willing to watch it on TV too.

And I don't think there are limits - because there are more limits to how many games are being played at one time. People today want to know the results, unless the true sports fans - who want to watch the entire game played out.

I understand that comapnies want to keep things how they have always been. Don't want to chnage. However, they have to keep up with the times and other businesses that are changing.
