Cord cutting to carve $33.6B out of U.S. pay TV revenues by 2025

According to recent Parks Associates’ research, more than one-third of U.S. broadband households are cord-cutters who previously subscribed to traditional pay TV. That comes out to more than 38 million households.

Paul Erickson, senior analyst at Parks Associates, said that within that total fewer than one in 10 are cord-nevers who never subscribed to traditional TV.
