Not as fast as you think. CDs, for example, are still the most popular and most profitable way to sell an album. Even with Spotify and Apple Music, the CD remains king.
Why? Because people don't like change. Cliff is right, cable is not dying anytime soon. It's experiencing a natural downturn because of streaming, but it won't die for at least a decade.
Unfortunately, the death of cable means the death of TV contracts, which means a negative impact for the NHL, and likely a negative impact for the viewer. The Rogers deal alone makes the NHL significantly more money than they could possibly make with their own paid streaming service.
