Streaming Services

Where people are watching TV shows and films

There has been a dramatic change in the way people consume entertainment. There has been an uptick in streaming services with a decline in cable subscriptions.

People are drawn to streaming services because it gives them the control to watch TV and films when it is convenient for them at a lower cost.

And now, there is another factor, quarantine. Movie theatres have closed, and drive-in theatres are making a come-back. Some drive-in theatres decided to open early this summer and new ones are popping up all over.

When a diverse group of people from all over the world, were asked on August 5, 2020:

“What is your favorite streaming platform/channel/network/app? Where do you watch?”

These were some of the responses:

Some of the answers were Hulu, Youtube, Netflix, PS4, Pathé Cinema, Tubi, Vudu, Argo. Twitch, Philo, HBO Max, HBO, Crunchyroll, Disney +, Peakcock, Sling, Epix, Showtime, Twitter, Roku, Funimation, Amazon Prime, YouTubeTV, Apple TV, Viaplay.
