GCI Ending Cable Service in Mid-2025

GCI plans to end cable service by the summer. In an email to subscribers this week, it said the plans come as customers increasingly move to over-the-top streaming options. "We are proud of our decades-long history of providing cable TV service to Alaskans, but we believe the right path forward is to support customer choice on video by focusing our resources on providing the best internet and mobile data experience in Alaska." In the email, it pointed subscribers to such OTT options as YouTube TV, Hulu and Xumo.
