Refuting The Cable TV Cord Cutting Hype

  |  2 years ago   |  

In the last year, the nation's largest TV providers added more than 1.7 million new video customers, suggesting that cord cutting is not a trend, according to fresh research from Leichtman Research Group. The research firm analyzed official data from cable, satellite and telco operators and found that while the nation's ten largest cable operators lost more than 1.4 million video customers during the last year, satellite operators and telcos added more than 3 million new customers for an overall net gain. This episode also covers news of a Mommycast.com spinoff - Mommycast Latina.

    I totally agree. Web video is not going to replace cable (cable, satellite, and Telco TV) any time soon. It is however forging a growing coexistence that carves away at TV's market share. My parents will not disconnect their cable and go "all hulu - all the time". They will start watching Netflix on their Wii though.

      Thanks for the comment. I know my mom won't be cutting the cord, but
      she proably won't get a wii either - she can barely handle email :-)

    Yeah! My parents don’t wan to cut the cords too. But I and my brother really want to have the wii since it is much cooler for us.

    Cord cutting is dead some say. Others think it a passing fad and that there’s no staying power. Yet in the annual State of the Media Democracy report, Deloitte reports that some 20% of consumers have or are thinking about it.
