This Unmillennial Life

{wednesday rewind} no. 43 - The Cord Cutting Episode


Listen Later

As a generation raised during the rise of cableTV, unmillennials may find themselves a little slower to "cut the cord" than their younger millennial counterparts. But the cost-savings and freedom of choice for channels make cord-cutting appealing to many customers, no matter their age.

In today's episode, I interview Luke Buoma of Cord Cutters News and share with listeners the basics anyone needs to consider before cutting the cord, including:

  • The estimated cost savings someone can expect when they cut the cord
  • Benefits beyond money when you cut the cord, like portability and channel selection
  • The shift in mindset to consider before cord-cutting in thinking about programs versus networks
  • What type of equipment is required to cut the cord, including antennas for local Live TV and streaming devices
  • What sports fans can expect in terms of availability and access to Live TV

I round out this episode with some odds & ends including a follow up about Season 2 of Ozark and a new recommendation for a binge-worthy podcast, Dr. Death. I share listener feedback from both The Intermittent Fasting Episodes and The Chores Episode.

If you've already cut the cord, please tag me on social media and share your experiences! I always love to hear from fellow unmillennials what you think. You can join me and other fans of the show over at the This Unmillennial Life Facebook Group or connect with me via Instagram, Tweet Me @ReganJonesRD, leave me a voicemail or email me regan[at]thisunmillenniallife[dot]com.
