If you heard there’s a great film/show streaming that you’ve gotta see, you go to Netflix and search the library. If you find it, you knew they would have it because they’re the streaming leader. If you don’t find it, you resort to Google search. The problem is even though the best and most image conscious of the 200 plus local, regional and global streaming services are 100 percent focused on adding/retaining subscribers, they spend little to no time/money differentiating themselves from the herd. Even Apple, one of the most well-known brands on the planet with more than 1.5B loyal users, just can’t seem to be taken seriously as a quality content provider. And they try… They rocked the industry last year when Coda surprised everyone by winning three Oscars.

The report found that: • 41 per cent of the respondents said they signed up for a service to watch a specific show • 57 percent of people ages 16-24 chose a service just because of one show then… • If the respondents aren’t certain, they pick a new show with a character they are familiar with or story line that has interested them in the past. In these instances, services like Tubi and Pluto are appealing to the “casual” viewer • 40 per cent of Hub’s respondents said they would be more inclined to watch a new show in Disney’s Marvel universe • The next three most widely named services were broadcast network streaming spinoffs If you enjoy watching cooking or fixer-upper shows, then Discovery + is on your gotta have streaming service list. If you’re into watching fixer up, remodeling shows, or a seemingly endless series of adventure reality shows, you not only watched the Discovery channel on your pay TV service but it was probably the first streaming service you signed up for when you cut the bundle and kept the broadband service.
