At Mohu, we wanted to better understand how and where people were spending money on watching television, so we surveyed 1,200 consumers to understand trends and investments in the TV-viewing experience, their evolving TV subscription habits, and the new demands for TV content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of our key findings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most Americans subscribe to more TV services than they did last year (59%) and 81% currently subscribe to 2+ services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 in 4 Americans currently subscribe to different TV services to access a variety of content, and nearly 4 in 5 have subscribed to a new service just to watch one particular show or movie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investments also go toward optimizing the home viewing experience, with Americans purchasing new devices (75%), such as a new television (86%) or streaming box (81%). Another 64% have purchased new furnishings to enhance at-home viewing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While Americans are spending more on TV services, 2 in 5 plan to cancel at least one subscription within the next six months and they cite cost as the primary driver (80%). In addition to canceling subscriptions, many are getting creative with fulfilling their TV cravings with tightened budgets, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leveraging free trials (55%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sharing subscription logins (48%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tightening budgets for personal spending and activities (48%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cutting the cord altogether (54%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our televisions have become a lifeline, but high costs are pushing many Americans to look for new options. As the leading provider of TV antennas to watch free network channels, we\u2019re committed to supporting consumers\u2019 cord-cutting journeys and allowing them to reduce monthly TV costs while maintaining access to essential TV programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomohu.com\/cmss_files\/attachmentlibrary\/Mohu-TV-Viewership-Index-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a> to read our full report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americans are making significant investments to fulfill new TV content cravings; but how much is too much?
