'A&E just kissed goodbye to around $292.6 million'
Authored by Andrea Widburg: When the Marxist mob used George Floyd’s death as an excuse to ramp up its ongoing war on policing, A&E instantly caved. That proved to be a costly decision. News broke Friday that the cable network has lost almost 50% of its viewers.
When it was founded back in 1984, the Arts & Entertainment Network was going to be a highbrow cable show, focusing on fine arts, documentaries, and dramas, many imported from Britain. A generation of women remembers being introduced to Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in A&E’s Pride and Prejudice. This high brow fare, though, wasn’t bringing in revenue. By 2002, the station had shifted to reality series for younger viewers.
In 2016, A&E created Live PD. The show follows police departments across America and audiences loved it.
