Welcome back to new role next week.

We can defeat the fang.

We've got that story, plus some attractive research.

But first, the collapse of traditional TV continues with streaming close behind.

The Wall Street Journal reports that more than one million customers cancel their cable TV or satellite subscriptions over the last quarter, just the last few months,
