MoffettNathanson estimates that US pay-TV lost a total of about 900,000 subs in Q3 2023 – a worst-ever third quarter for the industry. That poor result left US pay-TV shrinking at a record pace of 7.3%.

    It’s been over 20 years since I last paid for cable TV. I’m frankly shocked it’s made it this long, but I guess they can milk the boomers for another decade or two. Certainly seems to be working for the GOP anyway.

    I’d pay for cable for the one/two (please God, two) months my team is in the playoffs.

      I think it will become that … cable TV will just become a live event channel for people … sports, concerts, public events.

      They’ll stop using it to broadcast TV shows off any kind, including news programs because all of that can be streamed on the internet using modern systems and devices … why maintain old cable networks of people can just watch your programming when they want.
