A Glimpse at the Future of Streaming in 4 Mind-Blowing Stats

Wired  

Regardless of what portmanteau they might end up with, odds are good that streaming services are going to spend a bit of time merging in 2024. If ad-supported models, password-sharing crackdowns, and cancellations don’t turn streamers into profit powerhouses this year, consolidation might, and the results look awfully boring. Discovery and Paramount merger would create the greatest demand in terms of people wanting to watch the shows exclusive to those companies—and one where the results are so muddled they’re almost meaningless. It would also bring the home of Deadwood together with CBS broadcast programming and all those Taylor Sheridan cowboy shows that America’s dads love so much. The results wouldn’t just be new streaming services, but new media conglomerates responsible for big chunks of the culture and entertainment that people have access to in the US and beyond.
