cable television industry

The cable television industry delivers TV programming through wired networks, usually via coaxial or fiber-optic cables, providing a wide range of channels and on-demand content. It operates through cable companies that subscribe households and businesses, offering packages that include entertainment, news, sports, and other specialty channels. Viewers access content using a cable box or receiver, which decrypts signals for display on their TV. The industry competes with digital streaming services and satellite TV, but remains a major source of TV entertainment, often bundling services like internet and phone for comprehensive home connectivity.
