For Americans on the move, reconnecting to cable TV isn’t even worth a phone call.

That’s the word from one influential Wall Street analyst who has tracked moving patterns and dips in cable TV households across the country.

What he found is a perhaps heretofore overlooked phenomena: A growing number of transplanted households give up cable when they land at their new address.

“When you arrive at your new home, you are forced to make the active decision,” Todd Juenger, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, wrote in a report out Tuesday.

“Do I call the cable company or not?” Juenger wrote. “An increasing number of people are choosing ‘not.’ ”

Juenger said while there were several triggers sparking the decision to drop cable — like the loss of a job or a divorce — extensive focus-group work led him to finger moving as a leading cause.

The focus groups included cord-cutters and cord-cutting-intenders, he said.

They revealed that the most common trigger was moving. When they were in their old home, inertia appeared to keep them cord-connected.

The number of pay-TV subscribers in the US has fallen in each of the past five quarters, Bernstein reports.

The bad news for the cable-TV industry, according to Juenger’s forecast, is cord-cutting will gather steam until domestic pay TV subscribers decline from 98 million to “a new equilibrium” of 80 million around 2023.

Subscriber losses obviously mean less revenue for cable and satellite TV companies — and lower affiliate fees for cable and broadcast networks.

Declines in affiliate fees have already prompted the likes of Disney and Time Warner to lower estimates in recent quarterly earnings calls, Juenger said.

“The [AT&T/DirecTV] merger has already visibly affected many TV network companies, including Viacom and Scripps Networks Interactive,” Juenger said. “But it hasn’t hit everyone yet.”

The Charter/Time Warner Cable merger will surely do the same, as management has already promised to take out $800 million in operating expenses — primarily through programming cost savings.

The result, Juenger said, could be “a very ugly second half for TV network media stocks.”
