The XFL's ratings have continued to drop significantly from week to week.
The XFL ratings saw a significant drop in Week 2, but their ratings were still pretty good. Will they be able to hold on to this new level of ratings?
Fox tweeted about the XFL a lot on opening weekend, while ESPN tweeted about it a bit (but gave it a big push thanks to their reach). CBS and NBC ignored it from their main accounts, but plenty of digital companies tweeted about it quite a bit.
XFL ratings so far look decent, but will the league be able to keep people tuning in?
The XFL still has some work to do, but the groundwork laid during opening weekend's broadcasts proves the potential is there.
"It had to do with access and it had to do with audio and sound — being able to listen in to conversations and play calling. There are a lot of elements that could potentially be groundbreaking. For a football fan or a football viewer, it’s going to be interesting."
