PPB, I cut the cord. So internet-cord-only. 
Comcost, not Spectrum, so YMMV.
I use an antenna for local stuff, and then a Roku for streaming. Also desktop (PC has a old card that can do antenna inputs and record on a schedule, think antenna DVR).
The various "with-some-cable-channel-bundle" services (GoogleTV, Hulu +Live, Philo, Sling, etc) will have syndicated cable trials for a week and sometimes a month, either free or for a nominal cost that you can try them out for. As has been mentioned, Spectrum may already have a decent bundle available to you.
Antennas are important for local channels if you want to get them for free. This guy is fun to watch, and has good advice:

All in all you're probably looking at ~100-150 bucks to DIY install a basic completely new antenna setup if you need one, with an amplifier if you need one (depends on run distance and splits). If you have an existing pole and wiring, even cheaper. And be aware that will let you receive the new NextGen TV (but you'll need a new TV to decode it).
The bundles with locals will add to your monthly costs quite quickly. After a year or two of antenna, you can get a new TV for the costs you would have paid for locals to someone else. So YMMV. But if you want cable networks, you can subscribe individually in many cases, or you end up getting a bundle. Philo was the lowest cost version, but no sports, IIRC, but you can often get those on local antenna for your local teams.
It's all up to you. There's quite a bit of stuff on the free-streaming (with ads) type of channels (like I said I use Roku).
