Kagan Releases Second Quarter U.S. Multichannel Subscriber ReportMONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The legacy multichannel universe lost a record number of customers in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, but managed to keep the decline below the symbolic 1-million threshold. At the mid-year mark, however, the trajectory continues to point to an unprecedented annual decline according to data compiled by Kagan, a group within S&P Global Market Intelligence. Overall, traditional multichannel subscriptions dropped below 96.1 million in the second quarter, down 1.8 million since year-end 2016. Adding the top two virtual service providers (VSPs) affiliated with legacy multichannel distributors –DISH Network's Sling TV and AT&T's DIRECTV NOW – lifts the combined total subscriptions to a package of live linear channels and on-demand content to 98 million.
