Cord cutting trend still accelerating, as far as these reports continue to
tell us. DBS is the worst hit, as one would expect (they don't provide

"The pay-TV market saw net losses increase in 2018," said Bruce Leichtman,
president and principal analyst for Leichtman Research Group. "Overall, the
top pay-TV providers lost 3.1 percent of subscribers in 2018 compared to a
loss of 1.6 percent in 2017. Since the industry's peak in 1Q 2012, pay-TV
subscribers for the top providers have declined about 6,000,000. This
reflects a decline of about 10,000,000 subscribers for traditional services,
offset by the addition of about 4,000,000 subscribers for the publicly
reporting vMVPD services."
