The blackout of CBS 2 on DirecTV, DirecTV Now and U-verse cable systems appears to have cost the CBS-owned station more than a quarter of its viewership.
Nielsen household ratings dropped an average of 28 percent around the clock last week, with some time periods (including CBS 2's 10 p.m. newscast) down as much as 33 percent.
