Key points:
Our viewing patterns are changing
- Desire for on demand movies and T.V. is natural, but media companies controlled what and
how we watch
- With streaming technology, quality on-demand content is now more freely available
Who are the key players in video streaming?
- Major global players are Netflix, Amazon Video, Google (You Tube Red and YouTube TV)
- Facebook recently launched new video service called “Watch”
- T.V. studios-HBO Now, CBS’ Showtime
- In Australia, we also have Foxtel Now and Stan (part owned by 9 Entertainment and Fairfax)
Why has Disney made the move to streaming?
- Attempting to address declining revenue and profitability in its core businesses with weaker ESPN (it’s sports cable business) subscriptions and ad sales, to a film business that still produces great content but sharing some profits with streaming services like Netflix
- Is it too late in the game or can successfully play catch up?
How do Australian investors keep up to date and have a real impact on their investments?
