cord cutting - Page 2

With cable and satellite television currently in a slow-motion death spiral, America’s left-wing entertainment titans are hoping they can fool us into subsidizing their rigged business model, even as we move online. The launch of Philo TV shows that the free market is beating these corrupt titans.

There is only one way — one! — to finally and forever destroy Hollywood and much of the mainstream media. You have to cut your cable or satellite cord. You have to cancel your pay TV package. The one-legged stool propping up ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, Disney, MTV, and the entire Tinseltown crime syndicate is you paying for cable TV.

The awesome news is that cord-cutting *is* accelerating. There is no question about it.

Almost all of the cultural and political power possessed by Hollywood and the mainstream media is held up by a one-legged stool, a single leg that gets shakier by the month — this increasingly fragile appendage we call the Pay TV Package. Going forward, for reference purposes, the Pay TV Package is your cable or satellite bundle, which brings with it hundreds of channels and a monthly bill that dings you for $1000 to $1500 a year.

American consumers are dumping traditional cable packages at a faster rate than ever before, electing instead to purchase cheaper and more customizable digital TV service, according to a new study.

“SportsCenter” anchor Linda Cohn stated on Thursday what Breitbart News has been asserting for years: that ESPN’s constant insertion of politics into their covering of sports news contributed to the Worldwide Leader in Sports Entertainment’s massive loss of subscribers over the last five years.

Disney has significant advantages over other bidders to acquire Twitter. First, Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey serves on Disney’s Board of Directors. But the biggest advantage is that Disney owns a 33 percent stake in BAMTech, the tech spinout from Major League Baseball that owns the app powering Twitter’s streaming of NFL games on the web.

MTV will take over VH1 Classic and re-brand it MTV Classic, bringing with it a slate of television shows like Beavis and Butthead and Daria that helped fuel the network’s growth in the 1990s.

The arrogance of the elite left-wingers who run the world’s multi-national entertainment companies knows no bounds. Even though the economy has stalled out with just 2% growth, even though middle class wages have stagnated for more than a decade, even

CNN is collapsing. After a bit of a resurgence under chief Jeff Zucker, the left-wing cable news network’s ratings are falling back to earth. After a year of trumpeting ratings wins over third-place MSNBC (while still getting beat like a

According to Bloomberg, the increasingly left-wing ESPN sports network has been forced to cut 350 jobs due directly to subscriber losses, which is also known as cord cutting. Early estimates were between 200 and 300 job cuts after parent company

Over the past year the left-wing ESPN has no longer been able to rob 3.2 million Americans of nearly $80 a year. The result is a massive loss of revenue and upcoming layoffs that could result in 200 to 300

With the slow-motion revolution of cord-cutting speeding up, The Weather Channel is at least smart enough to see the writing on the wall. With weather apps on everyone’s phone, the left-wing Weather Channel has finally come to terms with how

Because my enemies are legion (and not terribly bright), let’s get this out of the way: It is wrong to compare Muslims to Nazis. Baseball great Curt Schilling  did not do that. In a Tweet that resulted in a pandering

A stunning 6,200 American subscribers per day became “cord-cutters,” and maybe even “cord-never,” as millennials canned their pay-TV cable and satellite subscriptions in the second quarter of 2015.

Classic children’s television show Sesame Street has landed a new home at HBO.

Are you tired of the left-wing sludge Hollywood, CNN, and MSNBC pour into your country, your lives, and your homes? Do you want to do your bit for God and country to cripple Hollywood and completely destroy CNN and MSNBC?

The largest swindle big business ever played on the American people — forcing us to pay huge cable bills for dozens of channels we never watch — is slowly coming apart. Even with an ever-increasing population, the pay TV industry

The news that cord-cutting is a much bigger problem than had previously been known or reported (except here at Breitbart News, where we have been covering this for years and not falling for the spin), roiled media stocks on Wednesday:

In an announcement Tuesday, Sony claims that starting next month, through its Playstation Vue streaming service, the company will offer a la carte subscriptions to whatever individual channels customers choose to pay for. For now, this service is only available

Showtime officially announced Wednesday that it will now offer its network in streaming form. The big news is that you no longer have to purchase a bundled cable package in order to subscribe to Showtime. The cost is $10.99 per

The Wall Street Journal recently published a strange piece called “Why Cable TV Beats the Internet, For Now.” Despite pay-TV losing 1.4 million customers last year, it seems the WSJ is device-challenged and unwilling to embrace the obvious future dominance of Internet streaming media. And the war to discount your cost for pay-TV is heating up.
