According to a recent report from research firm Parks Associates, services that stream television channels via the internet — known as virtual multichannel video programming distributors (vMVPDs) — have achieved a record low churn rate of just 36%, a decline of 48% over the past two years.
“Consumers have settled into the adoption of a virtual multi-channel video-on-demand service as a lower-cost alternative to traditional pay television,” the Parks Associates report states.
