Mea Culpa: Cord Cutting May Not Yet Be a Trend
In the last year, the nation’s largest TV providers added more than 1.7 million new video customers, suggesting that cord cutting is not a trend, according to fresh research from Leichtman Research Group as Daisy Whitney reports in this week’s New Media Minute. The research firm analyzed official data from cable, satellite and telco operators and found that while the nation’s ten largest cable operators lost more than 1.4 million video customers during the last year, satellite operators and telcos added more than 3 million new customers for an overall net gain. This episode also covers news of a Mommycast.com spinoff – Mommycast Latina.
