Research recently released by Parks Associates reveals that 55% of pay-TV households in the US report availability of live sports is important in their decision to keep their pay-TV service. “The churn rate for pay-TV services continues to trend significantly lower than the rate for OTT services,” said Steve Nason, Research Director, Parks Associates.
According to Nason, the consideration is a direct result of heavy live sports event cencellations. Over the past year, churn rates for OTT and vMVPD services both declined as consumers shift to online video sources for their entertainment.
