Cable Subscriptions drop 15% in Michigan

Unread post by TC Talks »

I wonder if there are any losers in this statistic. The providers still get internet service revenue, and all the programmers are finding their way to streaming bundles.

I guess local access TV is a loser without that cable funding. Our local access uses YouTube.
In 2024, Michigan's cable-TV subscribers declined by nearly 190,000, a 15% drop
Statewide, subscribers decreased from 2.35 million in 2015 to 1.1 million in 2024
Local-access TV funding decreased due to reduced cable fees, leading some stations to cut staff and programming
The number of cable-TV subscribers in Michigan fell for the third consecutive year in 2024 as viewers continued to look elsewhere for their news, sports and entertainment.

The loss of nearly 190,000 subscribers represented a 15% decline, the largest percentage drop since a one-year uptick in subscribers in 2021 broke a steady drop that began in 2015.

According to the latest statistics released last week by the Michigan Public Service Commission, there are now 1.1 million cable subscribers in the state, fewer than half the 2.35 million in 2015, when cable subscription peaked in the state.
283,000,000 Americans didn't vote for Trump.
