Sling TV, Showtime, And CBS All Access Are Gaining On Netflix

There aren’t any surprises at the top of the list. Netflix still dominates, and Amazon and Hulu follow behind. Sports services like MLB.TV and WWE Network are also popular, as is HBO NOW. HBO NOW is HBO’s OTT service, so its ranking does not reflect HBO’s total number of subscribers (among those excluded are those who subscribe to HBO through their cable provider).

All of these content providers are fighting for slices in a growing pie. Parks Associates says that 63% of broadband homes subscribe to at least one OTT service. That’s up from 57% in early 2015.
