Quote:The first episode of this year’s NFL training camp reality show drew just 273,000 viewers, according to Austin Karp of Sports Business Journal. That’s a huge decline from the 705,000 who watched the first episode last year, and may be the smallest audience ever for any episode of Hard Knocks.

I wonder if the 2 team format had something to do with that?  As for me I ditched cable TV earlier this year because they raised my rate over $50 a month. I got sick of their prices raises so gave them the finger and went to a streaming service.   So I don't have HBO anymore.  I probably would have watched just for some sports related content but I wasn't interested enough to add the HBO package to my streaming service.
