Competition, Consolidation, And… Cosmo? A Look At OTT's Year To Come

Parks Associates Director of Research Brett Sappington told FierceOnlineVideo that the content issue means that OTT will continue to see a lot of churn in 2016 as consumers "stack" services, adding and dropping SVOD (subscription video on demand) or AVOD (ad-supported video on demand) services to get the lineup they want. "Right now we're seeing most people take Netflix and then kind of add to that, and churn through some other services to find the mix of services that they want. What we're not sure of yet is, are they switching these other services because they've burned through all this content and are looking for something new, or are they just experimenting as they try to figure out what are their favorites?"
