Competition TV: The battle of streaming services

[lightbright]

An explosion of streaming services, apps and platforms is delivering more television content to more people than ever before. But more choice for subscribers means challenges for streamers – from HBO Max, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+ and Hulu, to CBS' parent company's Paramount+. "Sunday Morning" contributor Kelefa Sanneh talks with Hollywood Reporter media & business writer Alex Weprin, and with Sesame Workshop CEO Steve Youngwood, about how new services are fighting for subscribers as they upend traditional broadcast or cable television business models. (And no, you aren't totally free from commercials!)

I have my friends Hulu. My friend has my Disney Plus. I have my ex-wife's Netflix. On my own I pay for fubotv and HBO Max comes with my AT&T phone plan

IPtv provider. Solves all this. However, notice how the price of ISP and their net speeds are always pricey and rising?

But you're still left with not having enough hours in a 24hr day to watch enough shit to make it really worthwhile to have more than one or two streaming services..... and you gotta work too... unless reality can be warped, and 8-12 more hours can be added to a day without actually lengthening it.... there's a ton of shit.... some actually looks good.... that I will never see

Honestly, I don't watch a whole lot of TV. I need to spend more time writing, but I don't watch a whole lot of TV. The fubotv is just so I can have NFL Network

I work from home so I can watch a lot more TV than most people and still work

But I do need to watch last television because I have a lot of work on novels that I need to complete

You didn't have to go past not watching a lot of TV... I understand.... I watch a lot of TV... even got a job where you can do it..... just isn't enough time in the day for the massive amount of content getting dropped by multitudes of services
