Pay TV Sees Mass Exodus As Cord-Cutters Jump More Than 30% (to date) In 2018
Forbes ^ | July 24, 2018 | Dana Feldman

In its latest forecast on U.S. pay TV and OTT (over-the-top) viewership, eMarketer projects that the number of those cutting the cord will grow faster than previously expected this year, while OTT viewership also outpaces projections.

According to eMarketer’s latest forecast on U.S. pay TV versus OTT, the number of those cutting the cord will climb 32.8% this year to 33 million, higher than the 22% growth rate (27.1 million) that was originally projected in July of 2017. This number represents the cumulative number of adults who have ever cancelled a pay TV service and have opted to continue without it.

We may have lost 77 percent of our subscribers in only two years ... but at least we remained true to our principals of politically correctness, promotion of sexual deviancy, and fake news ... !!

I’ve had Dish, Comcast, and Directv. Never had a problem with service, it’s the content and having to pay for channels I not only don’t watch but will not support. I haven’t had any tv service in over 5 years.

Avoid any cable lineup with ShowTime (Viacom/CBS owned)...also well over many moral lines...as is case with HBO programming

Most markets you can make a one time purchase of a digital he antenna and get local programming in he which will usually include your football team broadcast.

Cutting so as to deprive (hopefully) the National Felon’s League and the National Badboys Association of any funding. They can shove it up their collective ........

As was stated earlier, the People’s Republic of Netflix next. Too bad these merely entertainment organizations do not realize we value their political affiliations as much as we value bird dung on our windshields.
