Bundles are the hottest new show in streaming

Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have announced plans to launch a new streaming bundle that combines Disney+, Hulu, and Warner's Max service. The bundle will offer both ad-supported and ad-free options and will be available at a later date this year. Additionally, the two companies are partnering with Fox to offer a joint-venture sports streamer. As traditional media companies face challenges from cord-cutting and increased competition, bundling is seen as a strategy to reduce churn and boost revenue.

Streaming subscriber growth in US halved last year

Streaming subscriber growth in the US has slowed down significantly, indicating that the streaming boom might be coming to an end in its key market. Premium subscription-video-on-demand growth dropped to 10.1% in 2023, compared to 21.6% in 2022. However, the overall growth in the industry has more than doubled in four years, showing a steady re-subscription trend. Netflix, Peacock, and Paramount+ drove the most growth, with Netflix now representing just over a quarter of the market. The report suggests that the focus of streaming platforms should shift to managing subscribers rather than just acquiring them.

Netflix confirms it’s cutting off Apple billing for grandfathered subscribers

Netflix has started removing longtime subscribers from their Apple iTunes billing plans in certain countries, requiring them to pay Netflix directly using a credit or debit card. This change affects members on the basic plan who were using iTunes payment, including users in the US and Canada. Previously, Netflix resisted using Apple's in-app subscription options due to the 30% cut Apple took. In 2018, Netflix stopped offering in-app subscriptions altogether. This move means higher prices for some subscribers or switching to an ad-supported plan.
