Streaming television is the wave of the future.
It may, in fact, be the wave of the present.
Let’s say cable is like the rabbit ears of the current television landscape. In that case, streaming television is like what cable used to be: You don’t necessarily need it to watch television, but you will one day.
People thought the idea of paying to watch television was absurd in the 1970s. Then, the 1980s and 1990s came along and made it a reality, as more quality programming could only be consumed through a cable provider.
As it pertains to sports, we could always count on watching our favorite teams on over-the-air channels.
