I cut cable, but now I'm going back to it. Not having cable has been expensive. For sports, the only viable alternative has been services like NFL Game Pass and NHL Game Center, both of which clock in at around $250 a season, and that's just for hockey and football (and BOTH services still have blackout games). On top of that I pay for a VPN account to get around geographic restrictions, otherwise both services would be close to useless. Add in a Netflix subscription on top of it and I'm up to about $700 just to watch football, hockey and Netflix; I'm still missing out on every other sport and anything that isn't available on Netflix.
"Cutting the cable" still isn't that viable an option for a lot of people, and traditional broadcasting and media companies are still very much in control of most media consumption.
