Cord-cutting naysayers are trotting out a new argument in favor of cable, and it’s even more absurd than the old ones.

Let’s be honest: Reaching for the remote while watching TV isn’t a major inconvenience. But sometimes, after a long day, it’s nice to expend as little energy as possible.

After going through several stages of grief for its traditional TV business—denial and bargaining among them—Disney has reached acceptance.

If regulators approve the acquisition, the result could be bigger bundles at higher prices, or ones with fewer of the channels people want.

Although I try my best to provide all the knowledge you need to cut cable TV, words and charts alone aren’t always enough.

This week, I explore what became of Amazon Fling, and why it could have been a useful tool for Fire TV owners and for Amazon itself.

Sony’s Slim plan was an exception to how streaming bundles work now, and it was probably unsustainable in the long run.

When commercial breaks become drastically shorter, or when a subset of viewers can watch new shows with no breaks at all, spacing every program into 30- or 60-minute time slots becomes obsolete.

FuboTV doesn’t have the name recognition of other streaming bundles, but it’s been quietly building up a service to take on the likes of Dish’s Sling TV, AT&T’s DirecTV Now, and Sony’s PlayStation Vue.

While it’s great to see so much antenna innovation, there are other ways to watch broadcast TV on your own schedule, ones that don’t demand making an up-front investment in new hardware.
