A Cord-Cutter's Lament

[Commentary] As a confirmed cord-cutter, I have four Rokus and subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime. I also have an antenna on my roof that does a pretty good job with local channels, but the vast majority of my viewing--probably more than 99%--is on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. It's not that I don't like my local channels--I just don't think about them very often. I get all the programs I need, on my own schedule, online. I do watch broadcast networks when they manage to score some kind of big-event programming. Like the Super Bowl, the Academy Awards or the Olympics. And so for the past two weeks, I've watched far more live television than usual, and I discovered something interesting and completely unexpected. I like it.
