Since the beginning of 2015, we’ve seen a wave of announcements for new television streaming services and TV a-la-carte offerings. There’s been Sling TV, CBS All Access, HBO Now and Playstation Vue. NBC is also rumored to be planning a comedy-focused streaming service and others are saying Apple is planning a service including content from both broadcast and cable channels.
There’s never been more choice for consumers which is great news. However, some news reports have been focusing on how adding these services to get the equivalent of cable isn't really a good bargain... What they're failing to do is factor Over-The-Air (OTA) into the equation. That's where REAL cordcutters know the best value and the most flexibility is found and other journalists agree.

Savvy cordcutters are combining free live local content they can get with adigital antenna with a small handful of streaming options to create entertainment packages tailored to their needs. This combination is a winning one for several reasons:
Cordcutting Savings Are Real
Many of our customers are saving a considerable amount of money by blending OTA TV with streaming services and enjoying the flexibility it offers.
