About 60% of U.S. television homes have access to traditional TV channels.

For October, Nielsen estimates there are 125 million households with televisions.

Of those, 75,502,000 are multi-channel households. “Mutli-channel households” refers to the number of households with access to cable, satellite, or vMVPD (YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, Sling, Fubo, etc).

Among homes with traditional TV, USA Network, TBS, and TNT are still available in nearly all of them. USA, TBS, and TNT have coverage in 94%, 93%, and 93% of those homes, respectively, or 71.1 million, 70.3 million, and 70.2 million homes.

However, as traditional TV households continue to decline, those networks that carry WWE and AEW programs are in just over half of all TV homes. The same three networks are available in 57% (USA), 56% (TBS), and 56% (TNT) of all U.S. homes with a television.

LRG Research showed that traditional TV homes declined 7% in the second quarter of the year compared to last year.

VICE is in 46.3 million homes, 61% of the cable universe. It broadcasts Dark Side of the Ring and airs episodes of Women of Wrestling after they’ve already aired in syndication.

AXS TV, which airs Impact Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling, is in 33.1 million homes, which is 44% of the cable universe.
