Many sports fans are unhappy with how much it costs to watch their games, an AP-NORC poll finds
About half of U.S. sports fans express dissatisfaction with the high costs of multiple streaming and cable services, according to an AP-NORC poll conducted last month.
- A new AP-NORC poll conducted Aug. 21-25 of 1,182 adults found many sports fans unhappy with the cost of streaming and cable services.
- This dissatisfaction stems from the expensive patchwork of subscriptions, cable packages, and password sharing fans use to watch sports.
- Approximately 60% of sports enthusiasts have signed up for a streaming platform to watch a particular program or sports event, with around 50% canceling their subscription once the content concluded.
- John So discontinued his DirecTV service in 2020, opting for a more affordable streaming alternative that allows him to watch content on various devices with greater flexibility.
- The poll suggests sports fans remain less likely to fully cut cable but often juggle multiple platforms, reflecting ongoing price-related dissatisfaction.
