[3/9/09] A growing list of places to find free or cheap TV shows and movies has more people than ever cutting the cord on premium cable and satellite services.
Only one in four people age 18 to 29 says cable or satellite TV is a necessity, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center. (Americans age 50 and older, incidentally, are much more attached.)
Members of the YouTube generation are open to getting entertainment in nontraditional ways. And thanks to the Internet and other resources, it's easier than ever to get what you want without a hefty price tag.
Since ditching cable, I've discovered plenty of places to get free or supercheap TV shows and movies -- many of the same ones I had watched before -- but for a fraction of the cost.
[3/21/13] Cable TV is feeling the heat.

medium - cable TV - for its anti-cable message. Now, officials at
Antennas Direct say Charter Communications' refusal to air the ads is
evidence of the cable industry's growing concern over antennas.
