Studies show rapid uptick in dual SVOD subscriptions; another tech blog declares cable industry 'doomed'

The Hub data is juxtaposed with Parks Associates info that surfaced last week indicating that nearly 60% of U.S. homes subscribe to at least one of the major services.

Based on the Parks report, tech blog Boy Genius Report (BGR) headlined a post, “New study shows why cable TV is actually doomed.”

Of course, with the pay TV industry suspected to have lost more than 1 million linear customers in the second quarter, there’s certainly substance to the notion that the collective infiltration by over-the-top insurgents is eroding pay TV.
