Episode Synopsis


Remember how we used to complain — there’s nothing to watch on TV?

Nowadays, there might be too much to watch.

From Abbott Elementary to The Last of Us, new shows seem to be cropping up by the day as streaming services boast tens of millions of subscribers.

But with the rise of streaming services comes the fall of cable — a recent report reveals fewer than half of American adults now have a cable subscription.

How does this impact not just traditional TV watching, but how consumers enjoy the entire spectrum of entertainment, from Hollywood blockbusters to local news?
