Hi there, Quartz members!
The streaming wars heat up
We all know Netflix has been the reigning champion of the streaming-video market, but are past results a guarantee of future earnings? Not in the least. Next year is shaping up to be a slugfest, as Netflix faces rivals like Apple, Disney, Amazon, and AT&T and their streaming products. Our media reporter, Ashley Rodriguez, has been gathering intel on this coming battle and begins her field guide with the state of play among the combatants.
What’s coming later this week
- A QZ&A with Hulu CEO Randy Freer
- A map of the streaming universe
- Inside Netflix’s balance sheet
- What kind of streaming plan you need
Because of the Thanksgiving holiday in the US (and the four-day weekend it brings), we won’t be having a members’ conference call this week, but we will be back with another one on Friday, November 30. We’ll have more details next week.
Let’s keep learning. Send ideas, questions, comments, and bingeable series to members@qz.com.
Hope you have a rewarding day,
Sam Grobart
