I've said this before that once I stopped watching television, the need to buy a new or used car completely disappeared.

The cable companies and broadcast local stations are fighting against having their shows and channels streamed on the internet. As a result, they continue to lose millions of new viewers each year in particular, young car buying adults. I believe this is having a huge effect on new car sales among other things.
