There may be fears that launching a major streaming service at this stage in the market’s maturity may be a risk. Netflix, a general barometer for the SVOD market’s health, last week reported one of its lowest subscriber adds on record. NBCUniversal’s Peacock this week reported slower growth while WarnerMedia’s premium streamer HBO Max is […]
Pay-TV operators must optimize all aspects of their service, including delivery if they want to be successful in today’s dynamic media market, and sustain and grow their position.

Cash-rich DAZN is going from strength to strength, with its latest move looking likely to be a public offering in the near future.

The set-top box has been the workhorse of the pay TV industry for decades. But the popularity of streaming services – as evidenced by the 1 billion-plus SVOD subscriptions reached in 2020 – shows the need for operators to adapt quickly to new circumstances and deliver services to devices other than TVs within a specific […]
The world’s biggest pirate streaming service Modbro was shut down this week in a huge win for anti-piracy advocates. The outfit, which spanned three countries had been downloaded more than 100 million times and generated more than €5 million in profit for its operators – four of whom have been arrested in an operation […]
All online entertainment – whether it’s video, music or games – has experienced a tremendous uptick during 2020 courtesy of Covid-19’s wrath and subsequent lockdowns. In fact, we can just about match up the various peaks in consumption to each wave of the virus’ impact on consumers’ restriction of movement. But there are other influences […]
Live-streaming, including of major sports, has been one of the big stories of the video distribution business over the last couple of years. The last few years have seen the incorporation of live services into broader mainstream offerings like NBCUniversal’s Peacock and the just-launched Paramount+ as well as the launch of dedicated live-streaming sports services […]
