Yeah, it's totally fair to compare ratings back when there were 4 over-the-air networks and only a few cable channels as competition.

I mean, holy shit, the NBA rarely broadcasts their games on ABC during the regular season, with the overwhelming majority of games broadcast on ESPN or TNT, so who in their right mind would even compare then to now?

Also, teams have locals deals so as an example, I can only watch Lakers games in Los Angeles if I'm a Spectrum Cable TV subscriber (which I am not). Most all of the ESPN and TNT Lakers broadcasts are blacked out in LA, which is home to more than 22 million people.

Yeah, totally the same as the 80's.
