So is “FREE TV” finally dying?
This article suggests that ad supported streaming services will still offer
“affordable” bundles of content. But the article concludes with wat we have
always known...
THere is no such thing as FREE TV, and it is likely to keep getting more
expensive:
The era of media consolidation has made it harder and harder to ignore that
we are heading, inexorably, toward a period when major entertainment
corporations will control the distribution and production models for their
programming and will, effectively, be able to charge whatever they want for
it. And in that world, the cord-cutting era will start to feel a little like
a blip, when a growing movement to change an unfair game invented an entirely
new one.
