Glad to see my Sky Q box finally has Netflix in HDR to go along with Disney +.

Thanks for that.

The final sentence in the press release is a key one, I think.

"discovery+ will be rolled out on additional devices and platforms in 2020 and 2021.​​"

So I get Discovery Catch Up and certain series included with my subscription currently after the initial free 12 months I'll be expected to pay £4.99 to get the same ?

They need to improve their programming if they want people to subscribe.

Quibiis shutting down https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/21/...QX3hxxljXI019E
Quibi — the shortform mobile-focused streaming service — is shutting down after just over six months of operation, making it one of the shortest-lived streaming services to date, according to The Wall Street Journal.

There is any number of factors that can be pointed to in unpacking Quibi’s demise: the launch of a mobile-only streaming service at the height of a global pandemic when users were stuck at home; the lack of any real breakout content that was compelling enough to tempt subscribers; or the fact that shortform video content has a nearly infinite amount of free competition in the form of YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms.

It’s not clear what will happen to the company’s lineup of expensive, star-studded original shows and shortform films after the shutdown. Earlier reports indicated that co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg had courted Apple, WarnerMedia, and Facebook to try to acquire the beleaguered streaming company earlier this year. When those efforts failed, Katzenberg reportedly tried to get Facebook and NBCUniversal to at least pick up Quibi’s content, to no success.

It was a mistake for Quibi to concentrate only on mobiles. To be successful, streamers should be on as many platforms as possible.

And utilise linear channels so people know they exist.

Don’t want to do an Eleven Sports. Interestingly Premier Sports haven’t had to collapse under the cost of Serie A and La Liga rights. DAZN Germany following this.

All that debt doesn’t pay itself. There’s no central bank to magic money out of nowhere from them they need consumers cold hard cash.
