Prove it, Craig. The best you've come up with recently is 80%. We're way past 
that.

So 68% is it an outlier.

Prove that too.

Even if this is accurate - which is questionable - it does not
suggest massive cord cutting.

Define massive. That's 1/3 of the country, when not long ago you were saying 
virtually everyone would be in walled gardens.

The news about Starz is not unexpected. Like HBO

And like Showtime, ESPN, and a growing number of others:

And like HBO, they are not abandoning cable;

Customers are, Craig.
