The rise of cord-nevers is a real threat to the pay-TV industry, but the number of cord-cutters is growing, too.
Similar findings from two research firms illuminate the changing nature of consumers’ relationship with their cable cord. For starters, Parks Associates reports that 10% of U.S. broadband homes have snipped the cord to cable TV, with 25% having done so in the last 12 months.
These cord-cutters are using online video resources to get their entertainment fix instead. Parks also found that another 7% of broadband homes have downgraded their multichannel video service in the last year, making them “cord shavers.” Meanwhile, another 3% are “cord-nevers.” Those are consumers who have never subscribed to pay TV but do rely on streaming video.
