It may seem like everyone has Netflix, but there are only 5 million subscribers out of the 13 million households in Canada.

TV as we knew it is dying the same way the "home phone" is dying . Anyone under 16 these days don't watch TV, Cable is pointless for them, barely know home phones are a thing. They still watch stuff but it's youtube or twitch, or less often netflix. When these kids grow up and move out, they WILL NOT be installing cable tv. They barely know it exists let alone pay for it. These kids won't be calling the phone company to set up their home phone. They want their cell phone, Internet/wifi, and if it can be streamed great if it's not they'll find something that is streamed to watch.
The demographic for TV is getting older cause, nobody new is coming along to replace them. I don't know what the answer is ... but unless they effectively kill the internet the end days of cable tv are rappidly approaching.
