Every day more people ditch Cable TV and join the Cord Cutting world with an antenna<\/a> and a digital media service like Netflix<\/a> or Sling TV<\/a>.\u00a0In 2009, 45% of all media consumed in the United States was through cable television. In 2014, that number fell to just 18% of all media consumption in the United States. (Print media, on old fashioned paper, fell from 9% to 4%.) The big winner in the battle for your eyes was mobile media jumping from just 4% to 23% in 2014. (This is all according to eMarketer, April 2014.)<\/p>\n

Digital media like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant increased from 32% in 2009 to 49% in 2014. It is estimated that starting in 2017, digital media will bring in $74 billion dollars, more than cable TV\u2019s $69 billion dollars.<\/p>\n

As many of the best shows on TV are available free over the air with an inexpensive antenna like a Mohu Leaf, you have to ask yourself why pay for cable. According to TV Guide<\/a>,<\/i> 14 of the top 15 shows last week are available with an antenna or Sling TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So why pay on average $1,200 a year when you could get so many great shows and events free with just an antenna? With a Mohu antenna <\/a>most people receive over 40 channels<\/a> of great content, many channels in HD. Add in a service like Netflix or Sling TV and you have a wealth of amazing shows and movies at your fingertips without the massive cable bill.<\/p>\n
