Whether you’re expecting a house full of guests or a smaller gathering this Thanksgiving… whether you brine, stuff, roast, fry or smoke the turkey…there is one question most people will ask. “Where are we watching the game?!”
And just as important, “How are we watching the game?” Last year, pay TV lost 4 million subscribers. Seven people-per-minute just said ‘no’ to cable.
