As cord cutting continues to rise, this study explores the role of over-the-air content and antennas in the Latinx viewing ecosystem. The FOCUS Latinx: State of OTA 2022 study dives into behaviors around antennas, motivations for getting (or not) getting antennas, and the potential impact of antennas on pay TV subscriptions. The survey was conducted in October 2022 among 1,600 TV content viewers 18+ who have at least one TV set in the home and are decision makers, 601 among Latinx TV content viewers; with an oversample that resulted in 475 antenna owners, 345 among Latinx antenna owners. The data have been weighted to ensure that the results are representative of the overall TV universe. The report is available in total market, FOCUS Latinx, FOCUS Black, and FOCUS Asian editions.
