As consumers cut the cord in favor of Netflix and Hulu, and legacy media companies launch streaming platforms of their own, the main reason to stick with cable is sports.
Live sports are maintaining viewer numbers, for the most part, and supporting the $70 billion TV ad industry in the process. When 21st Century Fox sold off its film and TV studios, it bet that a smaller Fox, stripped down to news and sports, would be more competitive in the new media world.
...or it could change because you learn not to give a flying phuck about for profit rigged events that dumb down the nation and distract us from human rights violations and planetary destruction degrading our society and lives. But keep watching grown men play with balls...yeah.
Sick of cable prices and monopolies...
Nothing beats Sports Live
