Most people know there is a general trend away from cable TV and toward streaming, with stories about “cord-cutting” making the news for years. But the decline is so precipitous that I’m willing to go out on a limb and say newspapers will outlive cable.

I don’t have cable, and hardly anyone my age does. New research from Pew confirms this. Only 16 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 subscribe to cable or satellite TV.

But the number is also very low for Americans aged 30 to 49, where only 23 percent subscribe to cable or satellite. The only age group for which a majority of Americans have cable or satellite TV is 65+, where 64 percent subscribe.

Streaming services are no longer the province only of the young. A clear majority of Americans, 55 percent, only have streaming services and don’t subscribe to cable or satellite at all. Only 8 percent have cable or satellite and don’t have streaming.

Even most elderly people use streaming services, with 65 percent of seniors reporting that they have used them before. Ninety-two percent of people aged 30 to 49 have used streaming.

The newspaper industry has obviously changed a lot in the past few decades, but the medium still exists. Major papers such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal have been able to grow their subscriber base in recent years with digital offerings. The New York Times still has 600,000 print subscribers, which is greater than the number of people who watched any of CNN’s evening offerings last Friday.

Newspapers will struggle yet survive. Cable is on a glide path to extinction.
