So I am firmly in the "cable and satellite can go fuck themselves" camp, it's been too expensive for a long time and now we have alternatives. As long as you have access to solid internet, you can get a Roku (my preferred option) or an Amazon FireTV. They're like 50 bucks for the fancyish models. There are quite a few free streaming services like Pluto, Tubi, etc.. With cutting your cable bill, you could also get a few streaming services and still come out the other end saving a decent bit of money month to month.

For local news, buy a cheap antenna.

I hear ya, cable & satellite TV are cash cows, similar to long distance telephone charges from back in the day - if you’re old enough to remember. Thanks for the helpful info, I appreciate it. I already have a Roku in use, so it’s just a matter of research now.
