One-in-seven Americans have made the decision to cut the cord

It seems like every study and survey conducted in the United States is coming to the conclusion that traditional television is dying, and the latest data from the Pew Research Center is no exception. According to the data, somewhere around 15% of American adults are now cord-cutters, which means they used to be subscribed to a traditional television service but aren’t anymore. The percentage is much higher for young adults, and many of them have never actually subscribed to a traditional service in the first place. This is just further proof that on-demand streaming services like Hulu and Netflix are taking massive chunks out the subscriber base of cable and satellite providers.
