Cheap digital TV packages are cannibals — and could push traditional TV to its worst subscriber losses on record

UBS said the “availability of cheap live streaming alternatives” is contributing to more people canceling traditional packages (“elevated traditional video churn”). The analysts also said it's hurting the ability of pay-TV companies to charge high rates (their “pricing power”). If you are a pay-TV operator, especially one that doesn't own one of the upstarts, that's bad news for you. - Nathan McAlone, Business Insider [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
