In the age of social media and online media content, the reality of modern local television — its decline in ratings and earnings — was apparent at the Pac-12 Tournament. For the first time, no Tucson TV outlet, not Channel 4, 9 or 13, sent a representative to Las Vegas. It’s not cheap. Many of the 12,000 or so UA fans who attended games at T-Mobile Arena spent as much (or more) than $2,000 for the week.
