A Little History

Cordkillers is a new show with a long history. Tom Merritt and and Brian Brushwood were hosts of a cord cutting show on the TWiT network called Framerate. When TWiT decided to not renew Tom Merritt's contract, he and Brian Brushwood used the show's format, with some revamping, to create Cordkillers. 

How do I feel about this show.

My wife and I were big fans of Framerate on the TWIT network. You can read more about Framerate in the section called A Little History. Cindy and I were very unhappy when the show ended and very excited when Cordkillers started a few weeks ago. Cordkillers is a great replacement for Framerate and a great source for news on the subject of cord cutting. AKA going without cable TV. The only area that this show does not cover well is the use of over the air TV aka using an antenna.  So yes, you should watch this show how you want, when you want, and on whatever device you want.
