Re: Bonfire of Streamers

Deep-pocketeted owners so will continue unless owners wake up on the wrong side of the bed one morning!
  1. Apple TV - £9 a month
  2. DAZN - £10 (12 months), £20 a month flexible

Market leaders so should continue
  • Disney+ - with ads plan: £5 a month, standard: £8 a month
  • Now (Comcast) - £10 a month entertainment, £10 cinema. Hayu (Comcast} - £5 a month. Effectively just another Now TV pack
  • Amazon Prime - £9 a month
  • Netflix - £5 with ads, £8 one device, £11 “standard”, £16 “premium”

That leaves the others:
  • ITVX - £6 a month premium. Will probably continue as it's just an advertising-free version of the popular PSB catch-up and on-demand service.
  • Mubi - £12 a month. Loss-making in UK so long-term prospects uncertain.
  • Discovery+ - basic £4, standard £7; TNT Sports on Discovery+ £31 a month. WarnerBros Discovery (WBD) seems intent on launching Max in 2026 so doubtless these will continue in 2025 before being rolled into it in 2026. Long term, is WBD as a whole viable?
  • Paramount+ £7 a month. Could see this ending in the UK, maybe as a tile on Now TV if I'm being generous.
  • Premier Sports - £11 a month. They've shown before that they will sell out if someone has the money but have been able to survive independently before.
