COVID-19: preferred sports programming alternative as of March 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the world at the beginning of 2020 was not only a big threat to public health, but also to the entire sports industry. Many professional leagues closed their doors to spectators or postponed their seasons entirely, leading to a severe lack of live sports programming on television. During a March 2020 survey in the United States, some 41 percent of respondents stated that sports documentaries would be their preferred alternative sports programming during the pandemic.
