Jon;
I agree that some people went from cable to antenna tv years ago when the word
got out. What a fool many of us, even in the industry felt. I turned off our
cable (only my husband had to get Sports, because he was a complete and total
Sports diehard fan). Between Roku free channels, some online streaming
channels/services with antenna, are already too much to choose from. The past
two years though or more, like five years; I have been so busy monitoring
channels for broadcast I don't get to watch much else. The young millineals in
my household watch netflex, and Roku. I guess they watch whatever is on Roku
and Netflex offered them some new cool series. Otherwise they have the free
PBS on for the kid, Winnie's World, and/or Disney. Kids are like TV fiends.
Not like when we were young and you go outside and make it home by dinner and
you are good. We played with neighborhood kids and mostly 4Square ball, boys
basketball, and baseball; and skateboards, or roller skates. Excercise. But it
is like a Roku Generation in our house. My niece was in North Dakota going to
college and she had a dorm/apt type room, but they had fire drills. Well a
fire alert, bells ringing, someone knocks on her door and says, "...out, grab a
robe, two items and that's it, come on out.". She listened very carefully,
while he stared and she unplugged and grabbed her Roku box and her poodle, or
Bichon Frieze..her dog, and headed quickly out the door with some of the other
girls, grabbing a purse and a computer or something...lol
After a while, she was standing in the line and yelled out to one of the
firemen, and annoyingly one approached her and told her not to bother them and
to be still but then she asked if the place was burning down. He told her
"no, it's okay, it was just a drill.." as she seemed very nervous, he thought
he would let her know. She said "Thank goodness because I forgot my fiance'
lying asleep in his bed." He said, "...didn't he hear the darn alarms going
off..." She told him no, because he had his one special hearing aide out and he
was deaf.... :() Weigh the scales, Roku, pooch, Fiance'. Only two items,
and no talking back, just rush on out. !!
Millineals are onto something.

U.S. Households With Live Pay-TV Service Subscriptions Declines To 66%
The number of U.S. TV households with access to live pay-TV, whether via cable,
satellite, Telco or an internet vMVPD subscription, has dropped to 66%, down
from 88% a decade ago, according to the findings of new research from Leichtman
Research Group (LRG). The findings also highlight ongoing worries about the
future of the pay TV industry in that one third of the respondents (34%)
reported that they had never had a pay TV service.
