WASHINGTON — The Hole Saga, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association’s new online cable promotion campaign, had generated 7,666 YouTube views at press time.
The campaign consists of a video sending a message to would-be cord cutters or broadcast-only households that “life without cable leaves a mighty big hole” in people’s lives — in this case, literally.
The campaign definitely has an online edge. For example, “Sheet Hole” (pictured) is the title for the scenario where a vacationer winds up in a fleabag motel because she did not have access to the cable broadband service that would have revealed a “no star” rating.
