Over the last few years, over-the-air TV has seen a huge jump in the number of free TV stations. Many of these stations have launched with the goal of targeting the growing cord cutting trend that has exploded recently.
Now there are over 100 free OTA TV networks including the newly launched Court TV network, which brings back the old Court TV cable network but is now free with an antenna. Look for more networks to look at OTA TV as cord cutting continues to grow.
*Correction: We previously noted that GetTV is available in 66% of homes. The channel is available in 80% of homes.
