That's a shame about Paramount Plus. It seemed like a service looking for an audience when it started, but between shows like Tulsa King and its streaming of our local CBS affiliate, we've been watching it more and more. I'm grandfathered in with my internet plan to get Max, and love it, too. I fear every time there's a change in owners that it's going to be the end of the line for that deal. They've got a series based around Batman's Penguin that I really hope we get to see (and is actually good). If all of the currently available content survived the mergers, this COULD be a good thing, a one-stop shop similar to cable for everything streaming... but it seems like some content always gets tossed, and as you mentioned the prices are going up and up, meeting or surpassing cable if you have multiple services. Who had "cable becomes competitively priced with streaming services" on their 2024 bingo card?? (Not me!)

The expansion of Disney+ was built into the app from the beginning. In 2017 or so, when Bob Iger announced the name of the app, the word “Plus” accommodates every bit of expansion the service has seen/will continue to see.

paramount +is the same- added showtime- MGM is part of Prime so that leaves Starz- Cinemax- Curiosity Stream and a few other small ones the fight will be between Max- Peacock and Hulu to divide up the rest- Peacock would be wise to grab Starz to stay even with Paramount+ before another streaming app does

There’s only room for 2 players to be wildly successful with this streaming thing long term. This is how I see this all playing out over the next 5-10 years. 1. WBD and Paramount merge. In a few years Comcast buys them. Eventually Amazon buys this combined company. 2. Apple feeling the pressure to compete with Amazon buys Disney. 3. Netflix can no longer compete with the 2 big tech behemoths with unlimited pockets and huge libraries. Netflix goes up for sale and Apple and Amazon duke it out for the last remaining big player.

The only thing with this is, Amazon would have to probably buy all of Comcast which I don't see happening easily, that's if Comcast wants to put itself up for sale. Companies you don't typically hear about being bought or the the idea of being bought but instead is doing the buying themselves in regards to entertainment is typically AT&T & Comcast, granted AT&T is mostly out of media now.

I was kind of hoping that Netflix would shut down by around spring early summer of next year(or end of this year), I’m just surprised that despite the crackdown on password sharing people are still subscribed to it(or at least 3/4 of the people to my knowledge if not more). even though I left in 2021 before the password sharing crackdown became an idea, you couldn’t convince me to go back, Of course, I can’t say the same for My Aunt and Uncle who have Netflix still(Neptunes knows why but I’ll let them be them I guess) Edit: the fact that people still trust Netflix(the people I said about including My Aunt and Uncle) is unbelievable but hey it’s their life Edit2: now onto when you were discussing about KZitem TV, I do agree 100%.

You are absolutely right about Peacock not being a good brand name. A customer would have to make the connection that its from NBC which is not a given these days. Not only that but it doesn't leverage the Universal brand at all since you'd have to know that its also part of the Comcast umbrella. What I'd like to see is an animation platform that combines Warner Brothers, Dreamworks, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon. I think that would be a must have competitor or complement to Disney for families.

As much as I agree with you completely about an animation platform, there's too owners who would fight for licensing and how much of what content gets pushed. The hard truth is that profits are the focus not the satisfaction of the consumer.

The one sleeper here is Warner Bros Discovery, I say buy paramount.

They just need people in the driver seat who truly want to see them win and are willing to do whatever it takes to be great.

I think you are correct about the wisdom of combining Disney+ with Hulu. My remaining question there is ESPN+. As a subscriber to The Disney Bundle, I am wondering how Mr. Iger will handle launching the complete ESPN app he wants juggling with ESPN+. I think it would be wise to convert ESPN+ to what he wants, rather than launching a fourth app. Or, bring true Live TV to Disney+ in a huge Disney+ offering truly combining the three services.

I agree with the analysis of who will stay and who will go. These Wall St types who invaded these companies just did not understand how streaming works. Netflix used to pay CBS/Viacom (aka Paramount) over a billion dollars for the rights to stream The CW shows after they finished airing. When they went with their own service, they pulled all that content behind their own streaming offerings along with the failure which was DC TV. They took a billion dollars of monetized content and put it behind their paywall where it generated a big fat zero. I don't know a lot of people that would subscribe just to watch that (and if they did they would drop it soon enough after watching it). That is just malpractice in this industry. Now they are kinda figuring out with going back to licensing content to Netflix at the cost of BILLIONS of dollars they lost because they didn't know what they were doing, and now we will all pay the price for it

How is Max a better brand than Peacock ? It is way to generic adds tons of confusion. If you were to do a search for max on any search engine if you were to type the word max in with no other context would the streaming service pop up? Peacock on the other hand if more memorable, only has one other thing that could pop up during a search the animal named Peacock that in itself makes it better. Max is the equivalent of calling a streaming service streaming or calling a soda brand soda its way to generic.

I see your point. But I’ve also seen Peacock’s name as the butt of one too many unfortunate jokes. It’s interesting to see WBD use “CNN Max” as their branding for the news section and I think “(insert title)-Max” will be something they’ll use for additional add-ons in the future. I don’t LIKE this idea but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make HBO a premium tier add-on and bring back “HBO Max” for the premium tier’s branding (similar to what Paramount did w/ Showtime).

Frndly will continue to exist, it’s profitable but has a specific niche. Vidgo is dead. LocalBTV is dead.

We're tired of show shopping. Property tax increases & price gouging while wages flat result is working two jobs = no time to sit on couch & won't get burned again by streaming. Case in point Yellowstone. Great first two seasons then devolved into pulp mill formulaic writing by Sheridan and a marketing tool to promote spin offs & merch. Then they moved it to so many different streamers we just finally gave up trying to find it. Chip & Joanna another bloated pricey show pulled to HGTV plus streaming. Big mistake, never watched the show again, just not that important. Overall streaming became too expensive, we bought an antenna watch free stuff and its just fine.
