New data from S&P Global Market Intelligence's Kagan reports that cable, DTH and telco operators lost 1.2 million video customers in the U.S. in the third quarter, reaching 91 million.

According to the Q2 2018 U.S. Multichannel Subscriber Report by Kagan, the cable, direct broadcast satellite (DBS) and telco multichannel sectors lost a combined 860,640 video subscribers in the second quarter.

U.S. broadcast station mergers and acquisitions (M&A) volume reached $5.11 billion in the second quarter, the largest quarterly deal volume since the second quarter of 2007, according to Kagan.

The number of broadband-only homes in the U.S. will nearly double in the next five years, according to Kagan estimates, rising from 19 million last year to 37.2 million by 2022.

U.S. broadcast station mergers and acquisitions volume closed the year at $8.24 billion, according to Kagan, with $5.03 billion in the TV sector.

In the second quarter of 2017, the U.S. multichannel universe lost a record number of customers, 976,000 pay-TV subs, according to new data from Kagan.

The volume of broadcast-station mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. reached $4.47 billion in the second quarter of 2017, according to estimates from Kagan, due primarily to large TV deals.

Over the next five years, the number of U.S. pay-TV subscribing households will fall by 10.8 million to reach 82.3 million in 2021, according to new projections from Kagan.

Kagan says the number of U.S. homes that have broadband but no traditional multichannel video package rose by 2 million in 2016.
