A recent survey of 8,000 internet households from Parks Associates found that 42% of internet households in the U.S. say they subscribe to a traditional pay-TV service as of Q3 2024, down from 75% in 2017.
“There’s no reason why every single game couldn’t be available live [locally],” Jennifer Kent, VP of research at Parks Associates, tells The Current. “It’s just the blackouts. What we’re going to air tonight is totally about creating an exclusivity and maximizing the money that you can around that particular game. But they could stream [most] of these games today if they wanted to.”
