Get out of the way baby boomers. The Generation Y\u2019s are leading the way of how you guys used to watch TV growing up. They are becoming the predominate movement of over-the-air (OTA) television viewing today.<\/p>\n
Gen Y\u2019s are intrinsically tuned in to trying different forms of how to watch TV.<\/p>\n
They are not chained to their parent\u2019s cable\\satellite boxes and own the technical<\/p>\n
know-how of how to watch TV in different mediums.<\/p>\n
Glen L. Friedman, president of Ideas & Solutions Inc., stated, \u201c1 in 5 Generation Y\u2019s have never purchased subscription-based TV or are former subscribers who have cut-the-cord.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c1 in 3 of Gen Y\u2019s have considered ending their cable subscriptions. They are more likely to own an iPad, have a wireless connection and subscribe to Netflix.\u201d All they need is the link to OTA television.<\/p>\n
Friedman\u2019s firm research did test the notion that, rather than being a phenomenon tied to a poor economy, the number of cord cutters would continue to grow even once things got better.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still free and looks nothing like what your grandparents watched. Spread the word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
