Parks Associates will share this data, insights on the causes of recent changes, and other relevant consumer research at the seventh annual Future of Video, November 19-21 at the Marina del Rey Marriott in California.

Future of Video, sponsored by JWP Connatix, Adeia, FPT Software, SymphonyAI, Bango, Wurl, and OTT.X, features keynotes from Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), Hearst Television, The CW Network, Echostar, ClixTV, Origin, Yieldmo, Google, and Mansa.

"Tracking the changes at the top of the market over the past five years reveals the extent of re- branding and consolidation shaping this market," said Jennifer Kent, VP, Research, Parks Associates. "Showtime, which was in the top 10 back in 2020 and 2021, no longer exists as a stand- alone SVOD service and is now a premium add-on tier for Paramount+. We expect to see more premium content used to differentiate subscription tiers or create content bundles, giving consumers choice in how to build their packages."

Parks Associates' Streaming Video Tracker includes access to an online platform providing data and insights regularly updated regarding more than 300 North American streaming services. Details include content and subscriber estimates for current players, impact of new entrants, churn, NPS, and trends in the market. Services tracked include subscription, transactional, ad-supported, and hybrid models that deliver
professionally created content to consumers on internet-connected devices.
