The internet. Really. It's like asking "Horse vs Car: who will win?". People in 1900 may have said "horse, of course", but we know the real answer, given time.

Oh, and by the way, 18-24 demographic is watching less and less tv...
- stephengillie 11y ago"Cord-cutting" has moved past Bleeding Edge and Early Adopters. Currently, Late Adopters are cutting their cable cords, and soon the Long Tail will be the only cable TV market.
- kordless 11y agoMy son is 21 and only has cable at the apartment.
- stephengillie 11y agoNice to hear that your son is a Late Adopter for this video source change.
- nickonline 11y agoI'm 28 and haven't had an antenna plugged into my TV since moving out of home, what's your point?
- kordless 11y agoI meant to type Internet, but said cable. My point was actually supportive.
- mreiland 11y agoI haven't had cable for well over 10 years now, and I don't miss it one bit. One great side effect is that when I choose to consume shows tv shows I do it without ads.
- xur17 11y agoI haven't had it for several years, and I'm very happy with my Chromecast, Netflix / Google Play combo. I spend less, watch less, and don't have to deal with commercials. I wouldn't trade it for Cable TV even if it was cheaper.
- vidarh 11y agoMy 6 year old used to watch lots of TV when he was 4. Now he watches Youtube, and the occasional thing on our FireTV box. What should really terrify the TV networks is that not only have heve, and lots of his friends, ditched the classic TV channels, and certainly viewing it on TV, but they've largely ditched commercial TV shows: My son, for example, prefers watching people roleplay scenarios in custom Minecraft worlds or G-Mod to high value commercial productions. I'm sure TV in some form will survive (over the internet...), but there'll be a massacre where the traditional channels are reduced to niches, and on-demand becomes a battleground between high value studio productions on one end, and rapidly professionalised small independent "studios" ranging from one person with a webcam and up on the other.
