Amazon Prime and Hulu follow, based on an estimated number of subs from Parks Associates. HBO Now and Starz round out the top 5. MLB.TV took sixth followed by Showtime and CBS All Access. Parks Associates noted that online pay-TV services Sling TV and DirecTV Now surpass Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV and PlayStation Vue to make the top 10.
OTT video sub penetration has reached 64% of US broadband households, according to Parks’ OTT Video Market Tracker, with 36% of broadband households subscribing to two or more OTT video services. Over the past three years, OTT churn rates have gradually fallen from 31% of subscriptions cancelled each year in 2015 to 28% in 2018.
