    While you’re probably right about the younger generation, there’s currently a huge movement away from cable and a million online streaming services and back to OTA. It’s why the antenna I bought 15 yrs ago now costs 5x what it did then.

    My wife and I dropped cable 13yrs ago now and between the OTA, free streaming like Twitch and YouTube, and such, and buying physical BluRays we haven’t missed it.

      I live 70 miles from my nearest broadcast. I invested in a nice antenna and an HDHomerun years ago.

      Otherwise we’re beholden to $60+ a month for the basic cable package to watch any sports or local news.

      Screw that.
