Streaming platforms like Hulu, Apple TV and Amazon have been around for years, but there’s still no shortage of haziness and confusion about streaming. We’re here to sort fact from fiction and put some of the most common myths to rest.
Fact: There’s a huge amount of content to choose from with streaming – including live sports. Platforms like Paramount+, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream and Hulu have deals with some of the world’s biggest names in sports. And, unlike traditional cable that might only broadcast a limited number of games at a time in specific regions, location isn’t a limit with streaming. From college football teams in the SEC squaring off to claim the title to matches between rival clubs gunning for the league cup in the English Premier League, the competitions you care about are only a few clicks away, no matter where you are in the world
Fact: The landscape is constantly changing but one thing is clear – streaming is here to stay. As of 2024, Netflix has over 260 million active users worldwide. Altogether, the number of global streaming subscriptions is nearly 1.8 billion. According to recent studies, 77% of adults between the ages of 18-34 in the United States prefer streaming to cable. There’s no arguing with numbers like those – streaming is a permanent part of how we watch TV.
Fact: YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, Peacock and Paramount+ are just a few of the platforms that make it possible to cut the cord without losing access to the latest news from your communities.
Fact: For most people, streaming is significantly less than cable – $61/month on average compared to $144 for cable. And because you’re not locked into a fixed contract, you can cancel or change your subscription at any time without any hassles or hidden fees.
