Cable TV: Pulling No Punches

Competition Everywhere

• During the past 70 years, Cable TV has evolved from its original purpose ndash; providing isolated rural areas and those with poor TV reception access to the closest broadcast channels ndash; to expanded viewing options for urban and suburban audiences.
• The number of channels quickly increased to hundreds, and with more content than even a couch potato could watch. The cost of subscriptions has increased and new streaming services attract more viewers.
• Cable TV rsquo;s future is uncertain, but it still appears to have some life remaining and the strength to throw a few more punches to maintain, and possibly, increase its subscription base.
