Cord-cutting overview
Overall people who decide to cut the cord typically fall into 3 categories:
- Those who want to save “some” money: Is typically someone who turns to pay streaming services that offer similar channels to what they were getting with cable or satellite tv. Money savvy, these users set aside a monthly budget and are willing to go without some of their favorite shows. An example of this would be person subscribing to Hulu and not choosing to add sports or premium movie channels. These users usually save between $10-$100 per month.
- Those who want control: Is typically someone who’s not interested in the price of a streaming service, all they care about is getting what they want when they want. An example of this would be a person subscribing to Discovery+ to watch the latest season of their favorite show and maybe cancelling when the seasons over.
- Those who want to save the “most” money: These types usually save an average of over $100 per month. These users typically only use an ota antenna.
