TV Cord Cutters: You are Not Alone
Due mainly to confusion about gadgets generally and other personal developments, we ditched having a television set last June, around the time that broadcast went digital.
We haven’t missed it. We still catch our favorite shows (Breaking Bad! Dexter!) via iTunes or Hulu or Netflix. Baseball games are listened to on the radio; NPR is too or is streamed live online. I watched The Golden Globes, practically commercial-free, on Justin.tv. And I’m no longer subjected to drive-by hearings of the Sunday political chat shows-about-nothing being piped into my living room. Peace at last!
Turns out, there are now 800,000 of us, according to an article on Tech Crunch. Sure, some Twitterati have more followers, but the number of cord-cutters is projected to grow to 1.6 million households by the end of next year.
So, TV-less we’ll remain, at least for the time being.
