Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 15, 2023 Members Share Posted August 15, 2023 It seems like the same issues that eventually cropped up with cable in recent years, are now happening with streaming services. https://www.theverge.com/23831904/streaming-wars-price-hikes-disney-plus-hbo-max-hulu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted August 17, 2023 Members Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) I found this to be very interesting reading For the first time, cable and broadcast makes up less than half of TV viewing In July, linear TV made up less than half of all TV viewing, according to Nielsen. Both broadcast and cable “each represented record low shares” of total viewership, the firm’s report said, making up just 49.6% combined. Meanwhile streaming services, such as Netflix and YouTube, grew last month to a record high of 38.7% of all total TV watching. Broadcast viewership dropped 3.6% in July, making up just 20% of all TV viewership, and cable viewing dropped 2.9%, making up 29.6%. Year-over-year, broadcast viewership slid 5.4% and cable TV dropped 12.5%. https://www.nielsen.com/insights/2023/streaming-grabs-a-record-38-7-of-total-tv-usage-in-july-with-acquired-titles-outpacing-new-originals/ Edited August 17, 2023 by j swift 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 1, 2023 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2023 Spectrum is no longer carrying the ESPN channels or anything Disney. ABC had gone dark but magically came back on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted September 1, 2023 Members Share Posted September 1, 2023 @Soapsuds When that happens, are you still able to stream on ABC.com using your cable login, or do you get locked out of that option as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 1, 2023 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2023 I'm not sure. I haven't tried it. I do have ESPN plus and I can still stream it but a college friend of mine on FB said he couldn't get ESPN plus to work for him. I don't know why it works for me but not him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted September 1, 2023 Members Share Posted September 1, 2023 I have: Hulu, Peacock Plus, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video. I just dropped Starz. I am mad at them. They've decided to split OUTLANDER Season 7 into halves. The first half finished last week. New episodes dropped on Friday nights. So, Episode 8 was the last for awhile. Episode 9 & the back half will be on *sometime* in 2024. GMAB! I get that they want people to stay subscribed but many people like me just had it for OUTLANDER & nothing else. Obviously, we're all going to drop them & pick them up again "sometime". I have tried Paramount Plus, HBOMax & Disney. I have also watched things on Freevee, Pluto, maybe something else, ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
