Rather obvious.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Agreed :D exclusive :D

That will cheer a certain someone up once they comes out of the shadows.;)

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

It'll be before the end of the year. NBCU own Sky as well, so I'd imagine Sky territories will be the first for Peacock's international expansion.

Would not surprise me.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I doubt it , Comcast will have agreements with other platforms for UK rights for its content so will have to wait for those to expire first.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

How would we see that happen? NBC uk channels launching? Our tv landscape literally having American shows airing the same day in the uk as the USA? International rights being axed so to speak? Wouldn’t the content provider lose money that way? It is intriguing

What about liberty global? Do we think they may be tasty to some American company. Currently virgin media seem quite detached from liberty global in Europe

A little over an hour to go until the eagerly awaited Netflix results. Popcorn time!

My guess is some growth in low profit emerging markets supporting the headline subscriber figure but a softness in the major markets due to increased competition.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Can you compare what Netflix shows with what Disney shows? Surely Disney is aimed more at the childrens and younger audience, rather than some of the adult-themed dramas that Netflix shows.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Adults enjoy much of the content that Disney have as well MM.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Are you basking in the possible bad results for Netflix, if so, why?

I don't doubt that Den, but they're not really comparable in what they show.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I suspect it’s the dose of reality it might bring to this discussion he’s interested in, rather than Netflix performing poorly per se.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Yeah maybe, just seems a bit odd that's all.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Indeed.

I like, and subscribe to, the Netflix product. The joke that often does the rounds is who pays for Netflix vs who all uses a family member/friends account. I'm the guy that pays in my family!

I don't really think it's helpful if Netflix throws billions into content, on top of billions that they are already in debt, forcing up content costs for the wider market. The bottom line is while institutional investors all run around hoping to make hundreds of millions of dollars in the boom/bust on the share price, at the other end the subscribers are being asked to bankroll an inflated content market. Driving up subscription costs across the whole market.

A shock to the market so that it's accepted there isn't an ever increasing subscriber base and ever increasing revenues has to happen at some point. They're all competing for the same pot of money, whatever size that is over however many subscribers. Arguably the sooner it happens the better.
