We cancelled our cable subscription after our daughter was born. We just weren't watching enough to justify a $240 a month cable bill. That bill went to $60 when we switched to Internet-only.
In the meantime, I put an antenna in the attic and wired it to all the TVs in the house. Primarily this was to pick up local stations because I live in an area prone to severe weather, but we ended up getting something like 30 over the air channels. Some of them are low-power (primarily religious) stations that we never watch, but we get all the majors (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, CW) and a bunch more on sub-channels. I was pretty surprised by how much could get for free with just an antenna.
Between that and Netflix, Hulu, and (now) Disney Plus, we are never short of things to watch and still get the local news when we need that coverage.
