some major cable TV providers will stop providing TV services. Rumor is that Spectrum and Frontier will cease to offer cable packages. Not surprised as AT&T has been hemorrhaging profits for years.
Just a rumor at this point . . .

Were transitioning to all web-based TV. Rather than a cable box you get a Firestick or similar and can access the cable programming through an app.

I can't think of anything that would entice me to go back to cable TV.

I figure that has saved me about 5K. And I do not miss commercials at all.
