1. We've documented the struggling ratings for ESPN's new morning show, "Get Up" a couple of times in Traina Thoughts. An interesting offshoot of "Get Up" being down from "SportsCenter," which previously aired in the timeslot, is how the NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" has benefited.
The NFL Network passed along these numbers last week:
• "Good Morning Football" is up 20 percent overall in the 18-49 category since the launch of "Get Up."
• "Good Morning Football" is up 23 percent in total viewers since the launch of "Get Up."
• Ratings this offseason for "Good Morning Football" are up 40 percent among in the 18-49 category over last year's offseason.
