Episode 67: Nielsen's Flawed Comparison of Pay TV to Streaming Services
from The Dan Rayburn Podcast · host Dan Rayburn
This week, we expose the flawed comparisons of bundled streaming services to pay TV, with Nielsen improperly comparing linear TV to YouTube while excluding vMVPD services like Sling TV and Hulu + Live TV from its ratings. We also break down the new NFL Sunday Ticket bundle with Max, new student pricing, and multi-view combinations, and speculate on the future potential for platform customization and interactive features available on mobile and TV. Wrapping up our discussion, we consider the potential for streaming services to achieve profitability and the possible future in which pay TV operators stop making profits from pay TV services.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media
