I would venture a guess that Netflixs, Hulu and Amazon Prime are responsible for a lot of this.
Services like those allow you to watch what you want and not pay for the other stuff
ESPN is a politically correct indoctrination channel posing as a sports channel. People are leaving because of that.
Finally cut the cord 2 weeks ago and doing the Netflix Hulu and HD antenna route..
TV is on less don’t need to shoo the kids out from in front of the TV to do stuff and my bill has dropped by $120/mo.
My excuse was I needed cable for sports and then realized I barely had the time anymore to watch them anyways.
