Streaming
services are betting big on sports broadcasts. Earlier, we told you about
how these services were streaming football. Adding to that is Formula One,
which will be a totally new channel – F1 TV Channel, this could potentially add
a crore subscribes. However, these broadcasts will not be available all over
the world – the broadcasts will be available only in countries where the local
broadcaster doesn’t have exclusive rights.
Amazon
Prime is already increasing the genres that they are giving to
customers. It recently started comic web series, stand up web series with some
of the biggest names in the Indian comedy stand up series. They also
brought Amazon Prime Remix, a web series that pitted
upcoming singers in a competition, judged by some of the biggest names in the
industry.
With newer and older streaming platforms working on giving more
and more and content to their viewers, it’s the audience who should be ready to
more entertainment at the same prices that they are paying.
