What would happen if MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and the rest of the Viacom family of cable networks disappeared from your pay TV lineup?
Not much, one small, Southern cable company said Tuesday.
Google's parent company, Alphabet, just released its fourth-quarter earnings report, and there's an interesting addition to the figures.
Cord-cutting, in which (usually younger) pay-TV subscribers walk away from cable and embrace new ways of accessing media, has been a known phenomenon since at least 2011. But it’s been a slow-rolling snowball, even as services like Netflix soar into the stratosphere. This year, however, it seems that Wall Street traditionalists have finally caught on to the change, and they’re not happy.
ThatNaijaBlog - Google and Viacom have settled a bitter lawsuit where the latter accused YouTube of broadcasting 79,000 videos without permission
I would definitely have to switch providers! I can't live without Comedy Central and Adult Swim
Unrelated to the article I see that the NY Post removed its comment section?!? To quote Obi Wan, 'You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.' =p
Sounds like the cable company is looking at its cable and internet customers as one lump when its very likely that the latter makes up the bulk, and still has access to those channels through other means.
There's some numbers gymnastics taking place in other words.
I don't think it would even matter. I pay for Cable and i watch it 30 min a week at most. I always download my shows or use Hulu+ and Netflix and binge on free time Also apps like Showbox and Popcorn time are even more of a reason to not pay for cable. Commercials are a waste of time. We should have the option to watch a past show we missed without interruption.
I grew up in the 90's and began long ago. TV/Entertainment is DEAD!!!
It is disappearing. MTV isn;t even Music anymore. MOVies are unoriginal.
