Cable viewers grow weary of pay channels study shows

Cable viewers lose interest in extra pay TV the longer they keep basic service. An NPD survey of 66 000 households finds 71 percent of new subscribers add pay TV but only 45 percent retain after five years. Byington notes about 2.4 million who once had pay TV canceled within a year. Reasons include not worth the service repetitive movies and poor quality programs.
