I'd pay for cable for the one/two (please God, two) months my team is in the playoffs.

I think it will become that ..... cable TV will just become a live event channel for people .... sports, concerts, public events.

They'll stop using it to broadcast TV shows of any kind, including news programs because all of that can be streamed on the internet using modern systems and devices ..... why maintain old cable networks if people can just watch your programming when they want.

There are methods to watch to games live online, for free.

Yeah but not at the same quality. And my preferred game is hockey where high quality really makes a difference.
