Earlier this week, it was revealed that, for the first time ever, streaming viewership overtook broadcast and cable combined, signaling what many have predicted for a long time: the death of traditional TV. And while there are plenty of contributing factors to the end of nearly a century of terrestrial TV dominance, I think we can all agree that the inciting event was Netflix's disruptive introduction of low-cost, ad-free streaming back in 2007. And while most industry watchers, as well as savvy consumers, knew that cheap, ad-free watching probably wouldn't last forever, streaming's decline into something that is basically cable, but worse, has happened a lot faster than I think most hoped for.
