According to data provided by sources, persons who had been subscribers for more than three years accounted for barely 5% of overall cancellations at the start of 2022, but it rose to 13% in the first quarter. Meanwhile, new subscribers accounted for only 60% of cancellations in the quarter, down from 64% in the previous quarter. Overall cancellations increased to 3.6 million people in the first quarter, up from around 2.5 million in each of the previous five quarters.

One of the reasons is that Paramount+ and Peacock are two of the most cost-effective services available.
