Last month, Comcast and DirecTV announced new services that bring together most of the top sports and news channels and nothing else. At $70 a month, they’re not exactly lightweight. But they’re at least ten bucks cheaper than comprehensive live TV services from YouTube or Hulu.

That puts them in a sweet spot, said Elizabeth Parks at market researcher Parks Associates.

“We’re tracking consumers spending about $71 a month now, and that’s actually a drop from a peak of $91 we saw a few quarters ago,” she said.
