Comcast has mostly moved over to using Peacock already, I think. Warner Bros is also separated with Max. And of course Amazon/MGM is doing their own thing as well.

They’ve won the game at that point. Only Paramount and Netflix will be the holdouts, and this all just turns into another $100/mo package like cable.

HBO is part of Warner which is part of Discovery (I think).

Right, I said Warner has Max for their streaming service.

How was there ever an end where a 100 dollar a month cable package is cheaper than all TV programmers having to make their own apps and direct to consumer distribution channels. It’s all the same TV with more operational overhead than having cable be the single pipe to distribute all content. The difference was steaming used to augment cable revenue. Now it is replacing cable revenue and that revenue goal hasn’t changed.

Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime aren’t going anywhere since their parent companies have infinite money to burn on streaming. For this reason alone I think these two services are more likely to survive in the long run than Disney+ or Netflix. There’s also Max, which has some great content but I’m not as confident it’ll still be around in 10 years.

In Europe there is also sky, who Hass all rights on HBO stuff here and thus can hold out despite its terrible player. Also DAZN for sport events. Both are imo completely relying on third parties though (sky on HBO and dann on the leagues).
