Of course, this is bad news for cable and satellite companies, but I’m not sure what it says much about the viewing habits of Americans.

I “cut the cord” more than ten years ago, but subscribed to a streaming service during college football season most years since. At first the streaming services were a bargain, but the prices have increased steadily since.

I used to get all the channels I wanted from Sing TV for about $25 per month. Now they’ve split their service into two offerings and it’d cost significantly more.

And I used Youtube TV for $35.00 per month four years ago and now the same basic service cost $65.00 per month. Several multi-channel streaming services are now around the price.

The costs of multi-channel streaming services has increased steadily and that doesn’t even take into account services like Netflix and the traditional paid movie channels like HBO.

Right - it seems that combined all of the paid streaming services will end up being around what people were paying before.

Hopefully more will dump these "woke" services and discover the old fashioned antenna, and the numerous completely free streaming services...where you control what gets funded as with no ratings / no revenue.

I spend $20 month to get YouTube without commercials. Also, I paid $65 for a year of vpn through ustvgo.tv which includes just about any cable channels plus hbo and showtime, all the sports channels,etc. You can check it out for free on some channels, but if you want more premium content you have to pay for the vpn. I figure $65 a year vs $150 month to concast is worth it to me.
