Despite an impasse between Paramount Global and FuboTV, which has kept Nexstar stations off the air for weeks, Nexstar President and COO Tom Carter has a relatively upbeat outlook on pay-TV’s future. “We are projecting subscriber attrition,” he said, with recent gains on internet-delivered bundles like Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and others failing to offset deeper declines in traditional cable and satellite. “But make no mistake about it — we do not see a cliff.
We’re not at a precipice here, or at a point in time where we’re at an inflection point.” Carter made the comments in an appearance with Nexstar CFO Lee Ann Gliha at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference.
