The only way patriotic Americans can forever destroy the likes of CNN, MSNBC, ESPN, and a whole herd of left-wing entertainment corporations is to cut the cord, meaning cancel your cable or satellite package. Thankfully, that message appears to be gaining steam; last quarter, a whopping one million patriots cut the cable cord.
As BGR reports, “Cord-cutting, or at least the speed at which people are ditching pay TV, is on track to be the biggest upset of the year.”
The reason all of this wonderful news is an “upset” is because for the longest time, some of these multinational entertainment companies were out there claiming that cord-cutting had peaked; the worst was behind them.
At the time, and for two reasons, this was patent nonsense.
1) Streaming TV is exploding. On top of Netflix, Amazon, Hulu — all three of which you can subscribe to for about one-third of the price of the average cable bill — there is an endless supply of free streaming channels that offer 24/7 news, movies, and television shows.
A couple of weeks ago, I found Pluto TV, which offers a ton of streaming live networks and works just like your cable package. Oh, and it is free.

ReplyDeletebut due to living on the shore and lack of internet streaming is not an option
I got rid of Cable over two years ago when the bill went up to over 120 dollars for just basic cable and internet. I now have just internet and enjoy what I want through Amazon and Hulu. I like the fact that I only pay for what I want to watch and there are many many movie options as well. In response to this, Comcast has been raising the cost of Internet due to the loss of Cable subscribers. I can only hope there will be more competition for internet providers to combat these price increases. Monopolies are bad for the free market.

Everything is going streaming via internet cable boxes will be a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteOur household gave up the TV about 10 years ago. Life became much more pleasant and engaging from the minute we did.

ReplyDeleteThat's just one of the hazards of using the internet. Most companies do that and more.
