Media Extra: RIP Cable

    
      Remember this week as the time cable TV's stranglehold over viewers started to died.
      HBO is cutting the cord, allowing individuals to subscribe to a streaming service without the now-required cable TV subscription. It begins in 2015.
      No price yet...but the big question is who will be next. ESPN? Showtime? 
    Note to self: buy stock in companies that manufacture digital antennas to pick up local stations free.
     Please stand by.

[UPDATE: CBS followed suit the next day, though the material will be streamed through local affiliates, like CBS 8.]
