More People Are Considering Buying an Antenna To Watch News, Sports, TV Shows, and Movies

Twenty percent of U.S. internet households own a TV antenna, according to research firm Parks Associates’ ATSC 3.0: Impact and Opportunity for Video Services industry report. It also found that 12% more didn’t own an antenna but were planning to buy one in the next six months.

In addition, the report said about 30% of antenna owners prefer OTA for watching live news, and 20% choose OTA for live sports, TV shows, and movies. 

“The percentage of antenna owners has remained steady over the last few years, creating a stable audience for broadcasters at a time when they are losing revenues from lost retransmission fees as consumers abandon pay TV for streaming services,” Alan Bullock, Parks Associates’ senior contributing analyst, said in a statement.
