I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people getting OTA broadcasting will begin increasing.

I don't know anyone my age that doesn't watch mostly streamed content, but we all have digital antennas for local broadcast and the important live events.

It is increasing, a lot. There was a recent study that had OTA using households increase from 9% in 2013 to 15% in 2016. Or as one headline put it "almost double".

I literally know no one who watches ota. I tried for a while but was quickly confronted with ota quality programming (or lack thereof). The digital antenna is in a box somewhere.
