Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc are all examples of streaming services that are a major threat to cable.Cord cutting is the process of getting rid of cable services that are extremely expensive and buying cheaper streaming ads online. These different cites usually dont  have commercials and every episode and season is available. These streaming serves are no more than $15 a month, with cable being upwards of $100 a month. Streaming services are available at any time of the day, it might not be possible to watch what you want to watch on cable tv on demand because it might not be free 69% of people pay for streaming services, while 65% of people pay for cable services. Younger generation, those aged from 22-35, of those 88% pay for streaming cites while only 51% have cable or satellite.Overall , 43% of Americans consumers pay for both streaming and cable services. In 2018, the major pay-television providers lost 2.87 million net customers. One of the few advantages to having cable is the news, sports channels are also harder to obtain on streaming cites. The more streaming cites and more options that they get the more people will pay for them instead of cable. Not much is keeping cable in the game and its slowly declining.
