HBO Now And Starz Enter Top 5 In Ranking Of U.S. SVOD Services

In an update today of its ranking of subscription OTT services in the U.S., Parks Associates said HBO Now and Starz have entered the top five, trailing only streaming giants Netflix, Amazon and Hulu.

Showtime and CBS All Access are now Nos. 7 and 8 on the list, respectively, and the WWE Network has fallen out of the top 10 as original scripted fare proves a strong draw for subscribers. While Parks does not include subscriber tallies along with its rankings, there is a significant spread between Netflix at No. 1 — 58.5 million subscribers as of Sept. 30 — and the rest of the pack. After about two to three years in the marketplace, HBO Now, Starz, Showtime and CBS All Access are each in the single-digit millions of subscribers.
