Cable Providers in the US

Cable providers disseminate subscription video content from cable networks to consumers over wired telecommunications networks. In addition to video programming, these enterprises usually offer high-speed internet access and digital voice telephony services. These other services are frequently bundled in a single package with industry-relevant video services. Although these services are excluded from Cable Providers industry revenue, demand for them affects industry sales. Industry revenue is estimated to decline an annualized 2.4% to $105.8 billion over the five years to 2023, including a decline of 0.7% in 2023 alone, with providers offsetting substantial subscriber loss through price hikes and upgrades, along with a fall in revenue in 2020 due to the pandemic. Average industry profit, measured as earnings before interest and taxes, has experienced a similar decline in unison with revenue, shrinking to 8.7% in 2023.

This industry consists of companies that operate wired, third-party distribution systems for broadcast programming. These operators deliver TV programming received from cable networks or local TV stations to consumers via cable infrastructure on a subscription basis. Cable providers also offer internet access and internet protocol telephony services, usually as a package bundled with a cable TV subscription. This industry excludes telecommunications carriers.
