Or from Wikipedia:

network decay is the gradual shift of a  television network away from its original programming, to either target a newer and more profitable audience, or to broaden their viewership by including less niche programming. Often, this results in a shift from informative,  quality programmingaimed at the  high culture and educated viewers, toward sensational, ratings-based, and/or reality-TV programming designed solely for the entertainment of a mass audience. Channel drift frequently features the incorporation of  infotainment,  reality television, and/or heavy advertising into the channel's lineup. Ha ha ha, very funny. I'm shocked you didn't go for the easier joke that the writers sold their souls to ABC, thus leading to their decay.
