Where the streamers are excelling is in the field of general entertainment, particularly drama serials. We’ve never had so much choice in drama content, and it is very inexpensive compared with pay tv channels.

The good things for streaming companies with drama compared to sport are:
- It is still viewed long after its first release so suits a VOD library
- People are happy to watch it when it suits them, not everyone at the same time. Most viewings of sports are live with everyone watching at the same time. This requires a lot more capacity to cope with very popular events.
- Drama rights can be obtained on a multi-country and global basis. TV rights for sports are normally sold by country or region.
