Streaming Services Are Taking Over Cable Television
According to Cutting the Cord’s statistics, less than 20% of US households pay for cable television, a meager 25.3 million homes compared to 2018’s 90.3 million. While cable television used to be in virtually every home across the country, many people just aren’t willing to pay for it anymore.

Fast forward 20 years, and it wouldn’t be surprising if cable TV disappeared altogether. Or Goren, editor of Cord Busters, believes “Netflix, Disney+ and the other big ones will become the ‘new’ cable companies.”
