Happy Streaming This Thanksgiving

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. So, if the average NFL football game is 3 hours and 12 minutes, that means during that time, 1,344 fans cut the cord. If you’re one of them and are now freaking out about how to navigate streaming…. No worries, Strategus has you covered!
