Cord cutters are buying antennas to save money by cutting their monthly pay-TV services—and they’re doing it in large numbers. New consumer research from Parks Associates shows that the percentage of U.S. broadband households that use digital antennas in their home has steadily increased to reach 20 percent near the end of 2017, up from 16 percent in early 2015. This increase, the firm says, coincides with a steady decline in pay-TV subscriptions and an increase in over-the-top (OTT) online video subscriptions.
