ESPN’s annual 'ESPY Awards' attracted only 482,000 total viewers across ESPN and ESPN2 on Sunday night, a precipitous drop from the previous low of 1.98 million total viewers back in 2011, according to TheWrap.

The annual awards show was strikingly different this year, as the entire broadcast was virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic. There was no red carpet, certain awards were scrapped altogether because the pandemic has shortened or canceled many seasons, and much of the event was instead dedicated to social issues and inspirational stories. Russell Wilson, Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird hosted the virtual show that focused largely on race, equality and the coronavirus.
