Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

If I am reading this correctly, the three strands of the new Disney+ service including Hulu will be launched internationally at some point. I dare say there are quite a few rights issues to be sorted out as far as Hulu is concerned so it may be we don't get this from launch.

Although Hulu remains primarily a US-focus service, Disney has said it has wider international ambitions for the streamer as part of its broader three-pronged streaming strategy centred on the new Disney+ offering, sports service ESPN+ and Hulu.

It also appears that it will be tough going for Apple+ as well. Without the 'must have' content, they will not get the subscribers.

However, while the Apple TV+ SVOD will offer an exclusive home for its originals, it faces big headwinds in the form of Apple’s limited investment in original programming compared to others and a small catalogue; a glut of original programming on competing services; an uneasy relationship with studios and programmers; subscription fatigue on the part of consumers; and the potential for brand confusion.

A free ad-supported version of Amazon may be coming to the UK.
