GIRL POWER!
The WNBA brass found out this week they will lose another $50 million this year.
This is despite record crowds at their games and record TV viewership this year.
The WNBA, which just tipped off its 28th season on May 14th, finished May with its highest attended opening month in 26 years and its most-watched start of season across each network ever: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, ION and NBA TV. And across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and CBS, WNBA games are averaging 1.32 million viewers, nearly tripling last season’s average (462,000 viewers).
The WNBA also found out that Caitlin Clark is responsible for a solid 33.5% of WNBA attendance at their games.
