For me, the only thing I watch on TV is free YouTube. I follow about 50 channels with topics ranging from woodworking to linguistics, and every geeky topic in between. Lots of science, history and DIY, plus some music, cooking, and travel stuff.
I also watch PBS NewsHour every night. It streams live on YT at 5pm central, or I can watch later if desired. Often, I just listen while preparing dinner.
Regarding sports, I no longer watch full NFL games. I watch the 15-minute recaps on YT. For baseball, I use DS's MLB TV credentials. I watch some live and some in the condensed format. But overall, I watch far less sports than a few years ago.
DW watches free YouTube about 50-60% of the time. She mostly enjoys sailing and travel channels. But she and DMIL still enjoy traditional, fictional TV programs on both broadcast and cable channels. We have no OTA here, so we subscribe to YTTV.
They also binge-watch new series on streaming services like Netflix, Britbox, HBO, etc. We never subscribe to those for more than a month or two at a time. And often, we just use one of the kids' credentials.
We canceled traditional cable TV service when I retired in 2013. So I consider myself a cord-cutter. But we still spend $80-90/mo on TV programming. $70 of that is just for YTTV. If we had OTA, we'd use OTA with a recast, and forego the cable channels that are included with YTTV.
So for those of us planted in the extremities of suburban sprawl, with no OTA, it's hard to be a true cord-cutter. Especially when two-thirds of the household occupants are still watching Grey's Anatomy for some reason.
