But I see many cable shows have less than 500,000 viewers while podcasts keep growing- some getting 10 to 40 million viewers a podcast. If you are a busy person, you can drive, shop, often work listening to a podcast.

The end of cable might be near as the younger generation are into their phones, not tv.
