Below are a few results from my recent internet search to find what the corporate sponsored mass-propaganda-entertainment-social-engineering industry are reporting about subscribers and viewers trends.
Good reports, indeed!
The decline in viewers is a long term trend as newspapers, TV-news and the social manipulation apparatus is in peril.
While the numbers indicate an alarming majority of Americans still believe what the news tells them and are unaware of the silent war with psyops and cultural engineering involved in mass deception.
We can see, all is not well with the beast system and its social manipulation apparatus.
As officials and executives will downplay the significance of this social trend, we can expect them to “double-down” with more mass marketing, news outlets, and mass entertainment costing billions of dollars to keep a docile and obedient population following the program.
Perhaps the tipping point in America can be reached, where 33.3% of aware adults effectively unplug, stop supporting and feeding the deviously, deceptive beast system.
Cord-Cutting Explodes: 22 Million U.S. Adults Will Have Canceled Cable, Satellite TV by End of 2017
Research firm eMarketer cuts TV ad-spending forecast on accelerating pay-TV declines

American consumers are cancelling traditional pay-TV service at a much faster rate than previously expected, according to research firm eMarketer.
In 2017, a total of 22.2 million U.S. adults will have cut the cord on cable, satellite or telco TV service to date — up 33% from 16.7 million in 2016 — the researcher now predicts. That’s significantly higher than eMarketer’s prior estimate of 15.4 million cord-cutters as of the end of this year. Meanwhile, the number of “cord-nevers” (consumers who have never subscribed to pay TV) will rise 5.8% this year, to 34.4 million.

Overall, 196.3 million U.S. adults will have traditional pay TV (cable, satellite or telco) this year, down 2.4% compared with 2016, eMarketer predicts. By 2021, that will drop to 181.7 million, a decline of nearly 10% from 2016. The number of pay-TV viewers 55 and older will continue to rise over the next four years, while for every other age cohort the subscriber tallies will decline.
By 2021, the number of cord-cutters will nearly equal the number of people who have never had pay TV — a total of 81 million U.S. adults. That means around 30% of American adults won’t have traditional pay TV at that point, per eMarketer’s revised forecast.
[…]
For the TV biz, there’s another worrisome trend: People are watching less traditional television. For the first time, in 2017 average TV viewing in the U.S. is expected to drop below 4 hours per day, eMarketer predicts.
Average time spent watching TV (excluding digital) among American adults will drop 3.1%, to 3 hours 58 minutes this year. Digital-video consumption, meanwhile, continues to climb. U.S. adults will consume 1 hour 17 minutes of digital video per day on average in 2017 (excluding time spent viewing video on social networks), up 9.3% year over year, according to eMarketer.With the U.S. pay-TV base eroding faster than anticipated and average TV viewing time dropping, eMarketer cut its TV ad-spending forecast for 2017 by a little over $1 billion.
