It’s always amusing when Millennials “discover” something that us old-schoolers basically GREW UP WITH. The “New York Post” claims Millennials and Gen Z kids have been saving money by canceling their pricey subscription services like Netflix and HBO Max, and are “turning to” ANTENNAS for . . . get this . . . FREE TV.
If you’re a Millennial, an antenna was that rusty, kite-shaped thing that’s on your parents’ roof. You might have seen one on “Stranger Things”. You can still buy antennas . . . digital ones . . . on Amazon for about $30, and the “Post” claims they can pull 50 to 150 channels.
It’s hard to say how much of a trend this REALLY is among Millennials, but antennas ARE still a thing. The Consumer Technology Association reports that 8.5 million digital antennas were sold in 2021. And that more than 40 million American households, or one-in-three, “currently use an antenna.”
