Fox Sports and Skip Bayless revamped Undisputed, adding three former NFL players to replace Shannon Sharpe, but the show struggled in its first week.
According to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, Undisputed drew just 131,000 viewers on day one of the new panel, and the ratings dipped to 120,000 and 78,000 on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. All three of those numbers are below the ratings for Sharpe’s final Undisputed show in June, which sat at 154,000.
Meanwhile, McCarthy reports that Stephen A. Smith and ESPN’s First Take produced 448,000 viewers on Monday this week, with 474,000 on Tuesday and 423,000 on Wednesday. Smith was proud of this accomplishment, evidently, as he shared the news on social media with no caption.
