OTT Churn Rates Pass 50%

TV customers have a high rate of starting and stopping many new OTT services.

Parks Associates says that with the exception of Netflix and Amazon Prime, OTT services experience churn rates exceeding 50% of their subscriber base.

Research also shows that more than 50% of U.S. OTT subscription homes subscribe to multiple OTT video services. Of these multi-OTT households, 81% use Netflix plus some other service or combination of services -- mostly Amazon or Hulu.
