Nearly a fifth (19%) of U.S. households say they have canceled at least one over-the-top (OTT) Internet-based TV service within the last year, according to new research from Parks Associates.
However, that churn rate has decreased slightly from 20% in the year prior, according to Parks.
Households with over-the-top subscriptions currently pay less than $8 per month on average for those services and $8 per month on physical media purchases and rentals such as DVDs, according to Parks.
