Telco SVOD Bundles: More than 1 in 2 Western Europeans Are Already In
Streaming platforms intend to reach new and older audiences; telecom operators’ to increase their breadth of services while offsetting decline in linear TV relevancy; and both of them are looking to increase stickiness.

Since the 2020s, connected vehicles and embedded sensors have shifted the balance. Automakers now hold an advantage, capturing more granular data than third-party devices and operating vehicles with multiple onboard cameras, including dashcams. Throughout...
7 in 10 new European OTT subscriptions came from stacking in 2025
Growth in OTT volumes continued to slow down: 2025 brought in 15 Million new subscriptions, against 25 Million a year prior. 2024 had seen an uplift in the reach of SVOD with, for the first time in 4 years, more new households paying for a service.

In H2 2025, Sky NZ generated 64M NZD in advertising revenue, compared to 30M in 2024. This significant growth has to be seen in the light of the acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery’s FTA linear and streaming assets in New Zealand (through Discovery NZ), in last August. Indeed, without those assets, Sky NZ’s ad revenue would have matched 2024’s revenue at...

Paramount–WBD: a USD 70bn giant… with 80bn in gross debt
After weeks of bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix ultimately walked away from the process, winning a USD $2.8 billion breakup fee and reiterating that the deal was “a nice-to-have, not a must-have.” Paramount prevailed with a $110 billion offer that has a clear rationale: scale up streaming, combine libraries, and cut costs. But the risks are just as...
