The writing was on the wall, cable subscriptions are declining. I've been "mostly" off of cable for several years only subscribing for a few months for college football. This year I'm on Hulu which gives me access to every game I could want so cable is gone for good for me. I guess I'm technically a millennial and my generation is just used to convenient content (Amazon, Hulu, Netflix) and cable is no longer a good value regardless of content. The political angle is just ********, all of cable is in trouble. Cable/content providers should've been proactive and offered a la carte content as soon as Netflix streaming appeared on the scene although it looks like they'll recover their monopoly profits by killing net neutrality instead. Leave it to the government to protect greedy dinosaurs that make insane profits even while treating their customers like ****.
I will say, however, that even watching live CFB (which is all I ever did on ESPN) is getting bad just due to the length of the games. The commercial breaks are out of hand. At this rate, I won't be watching CFB at all in a couple of years and I'll just wait for highlights to hit YouTube.
