What’s hot in OTT: Sports networks

According to a new study from Parks Associates, a market research and consulting firm, sports networks rank No. 4 and No. 5 behind the Big Three OTT services in terms of subscribers.

And three sports streaming services rank in the top 10 overall.

MLB.tv, a subscription service where viewers can watch out-of-market baseball games, ranks fourth. WWE Network, which offers a library of wrestling content as well as live pay-per-view events, comes in at fifth.

And NFL Game Pass, which allows viewers to rewatch every regular-season game and listen to live home radio feeds, is No. 8.
