The number of video and cable television operators in Michigan remained unchanged at 31 in 2023, and total subscriptions for these fell, continuing a long-term pattern, the Michigan Public Service Commission’s annual Status of Competition for Video Services in Michigan found.
There were 1,287,510 video/cable television customers reported for Michigan in 2023, a decline of 189,692 from the previous year. It marked the second consecutive year of declines that had been continuous since a peak of 2.3 million subscribers in 2015, interrupted only by a small one-time increase in 2021.

The number of franchise agreements between video/cable providers and municipalities increased to 2,206 in 2023 from 2,032 statewide in 2022.
