50% of Those Younger Than 32 Won’t Be Viewing Pay TV in 10 Years

And reports vary on actual cord-cutting numbers. A new report from Parks Associates says 10 percent of U.S. broadband households are now cord-cutters. The research company found that a quarter of those have cancelled their pay-TV service in the past 12 months, and are instead using online video sources.
