>>Media executives are finally accepting the decline of cable TV as they plot a new path forward<<
Speak of the devil. One thing they don't discuss is that cable tv is losing because its not compelling TV to watch. The talent sucks and when you replace quality with political and social messaging its just accelerating the demise. I never watch big network programming anymore. Seinfeld could never be made today yet everyone loves it.
What I'm saying is even the streaming service will eventually suffer, 90% of their content comes from old TV.
Sports alone can't save TV, 24/7 messaging is accelerating its demise. A return to Must-See-TV is the only answer.

>> At least three large U.S. media companies expect the number of U.S. households that subscribe to a traditional pay-TV bundle to fall to about 50 million in the next five years.
At 50 million subscribers, it’s unclear the current pay-TV model can survive without falling further.
The jury is still out on if streaming economics will convince investors to breath new life into traditional media companies.<<
Ultimately Sports on TV is the Main driver. What happens in 5-10 yrs ? Big question.
