Unfortunately, once most households cut the cord and stream, the cable companies will no longer be paying the franchise fees. When that happens, either the streaming services (aka their customers) will have to pick up the tab or the content providers will begin to cancel channels. I see a future of streaming only and paying for channels a La carte, with many less viewed channels getting canceled. Times are a changing.
