After cutting cable five years ago, I've mostly relied on streaming, but lately I wonder if traditional TV still has an edge for certain moments like live sports or breaking news. When I watched the Olympics broadcast last summer, the production quality and shared experience felt unmatched compared to jumping between stream buffers. Yet my monthly bill is now lower than what I paid for cable, and I can pick exactly what I watch. Is the convenience and cost of streaming truly replacing the value of live, curated television, or are we losing something important in the shift?
