Research from market research and consulting company Parks Associates reveals that 20 per cent of US pay-TV subscribers say they are dissatisfied with their pay-TV service, representing a 100 per cent increase since early 2013. The firm’s report – TV Services: Changing the Channel Package – indicates that only one-third of pay-TV subscribers are very satisfied with their pay-TV service, a drop from 57 per cent who indicated very high satisfaction levels in 2013.
“High satisfaction with pay-TV has dropped across all providers,” said Brett Sappington, Senior Director of Research, Parks Associates. “Telco services have seen the highest drop in highly satisfied customers compared to cable and satellite providers. The plummeting satisfaction levels ultimately affect service/channel package upgrades, cord cutting, engagement, and perception of operator-driven service changes (e.g., dropped or added channels).”
