CBS, Sling TV, Showtime Move Up Among Top 10 OTT Subscription Services

Netflix’s reign as the largest subscription-based over-the-top (OTT) streaming video on-demand (SVOD) service continues (no surprise there), but there was movement in Parks Associates’ ranking of the top 10 OTT subscription services during 3Q, according to a company update.

CBS All Access joined the ranks of the top 10 OTT SVOD subscription service providers on Parks’ market leader board in 3Q. Sling TV ascended to number 6 and Showtime moved up a notch to nine. A niche provider of anime videos, Crunchyroll ranked eighth, according to Parks’ OTT Video Market Tracker.
