The Future of the Entertainment Landscape

The entertainment landscape in five years is expected to feature three to four global streaming SVOD services, along with numerous niche services catering to local, sports-based, and special interest content. Additionally, independent film concepts may emerge separate from mainstream streamers, while niche fast channels and TVOD options will offer diverse viewing experiences. There is a prediction for a rebundling strategy, similar to Amazon, where customers can subscribe to various services through a single platform. Despite the potential decline in traditional cable and satellite services, the speaker foresees a diverse and robust media environment, especially with varying customer preferences and the persistence of traditional TV services due to limited broadband access in certain areas.
