Half of the issue is that NBC wanted live ratings. The delayed and on demand viewing help but Eric Kripke stayed for the record to fans at NYCC 2016 that live was a big factor for the network.
This is just not how the majority of people watch TV anymore. Networks need to get with the times or get left behind.
I went to a really interesting panel at Gallifrey One this year about the future of watching television. It was all about how people are moving to streaming services, and how this is changing the way television is presented. One thing they talked about (that I had never really thought about before) was the impact on advertising. Advertising is how most television networks (and certainly the traditional networks) make their money. In an age where people are streaming and recording on DVRs (and skipping over commercials) it's getting tougher to sell to advertisers. This is why live viewing is so important, because it 'forces' people to sit through advertisements. That's why this is the primary focus of TV networks.It's also why things such as the Oscars and sporting events are so important, because people tend to watch them live, and therefore sit through the commercials. The panel speculated that as the traditional networks fall by the wayside and everyone moves to streaming, the streaming services will condense/merge down to about 5 or 6 of them. Subscribers will likely be offered 2 choices for payment: with ads and without ads. Naturally, without ads will come at a higher price. This is why certain shows, such as Timeless, are in a weird place. They have loyal fanbases, but may not generate the advertising revenue necessary to keep them alive.
