By: Tom Troja   (04/11/2013)

At the beginning of "The King's Speech" Colin Firth, as the soon-to-be King George VI, stands before his soon-to-be subjects and fails miserably. He can barely get a word out.

Wible's Weekly - Cord-Cutting, Aereo Aggravation and the Demise of Films on TV - Janney/MediaEntertainment
By: Tony Wible   (04/09/2013)

Cord Cutting – Approximately 1.08 million U.S. MVPD customers (1.1% of accounts) canceled their service in 2012, according to a report by Convergence Consulting Group. Approximately 3.74 million subscribers have cut the cord since 2008, potentially growing to 4.7 million in 2013. The number of alternatives, including NFLX, as well as improving broadband speeds have made it easier for users to cut the cord. Interestingly, the proportion of TV viewers watching full episodes online for free declined. The increase in TV Everywhere deals and broader increases of content behind paywalls will continue to drive this number down. We expect the recent Nielsen announcements on device measurement to drive TV Everywhere content increases.

That's the basic definition of earned media, a term that earned its place in the pantheon of marketing buzzwords, though if this chart is to be believed, it is in the process of unearning it.
