Netflix isnât even #1 in Australia and itâs going to slide further if they keep releasing awful cheap American algorithmic sludge. Their tent pole premium drama is non existent nowadays.
Oh yea? What is #1 in Australia?
Globally, Netflix is streets ahead of the competition
Itâs so strong that people who watch prime and Disney and apllle think their shows are on Netflix.
Itâs viewership globally is light years ahead of anyone else
It will be interesting though to see wether it still is in a few years.
Only because they got there first! Itâs amazing how big the first mover advantage is. I agree with @Snoozenooze, Netflix really do seem to have lost their way. I reckon Disney will end up on top. Maybe theyâll buy out Netflix.
Anyone pretending to know whatâs going to happen is a fool. All of these companies are losing money on streaming right now, there are going to be so many changes, mergers, and restructures in the next few years. God knows what will survive.
Donât forget though Alot of the major companies arenât just involved in streaming. Yes, they may lose money on it currently but they will sort it out.
Netflix is profitable and just had its second best quarter on record in adding new subs, EVER
My money is on P+ and Peacock brands disappearing in the next few years.
Not every media conglomerate will have a DTC streaming service Comcast NBC Universal is a great example with peacock getting sold off shut down or merged
P+ will the the first to disappear
Skydance is interested in acquiring National Amusements with the potential to take Paramount private.
In a memo sent to staff on Thursday, Bakish said the US-based media company would âproduce fewer local, international originalsâ for its platforms, except for its free-to-air networks in Australia, Argentina, Chile and the UK.
That article states that leadership of FTA outside the US will revert to local leaders. That Maria came in when Paramount and CBS re-merged a few years ago and she was a disaster when 10 came under remit instead of the CBS leadership. Glad sheâs gone but unfortunately 10 will still be a basket case here until thereâs further invest meant in sport and news.
10 needs a new owner.
Itâs only going to get worse once Paramount is bought up by another player.
As long as that new owner doesnât have a last name of âPackerâ or âMurdochâ, than sure, but sometimes the devil you know is better.
Exactly! This would be the end! I watch 10 more than any other commercial network but not if it becomes a clone of Sky âNewsâ.
We know you love 10.
How much do you think 10 would go for? Iâve got $250 cash on the desk in front of me doing nothing.
Iâd chip in too, but imma want a VP role please and thank you.
Iâll pay $250 to not be in charge of 10
