I’m curious what the returns are on paramount right now? They are the hot hand with the Taylor Sheridan shows…but not sure how that translates to overall share?

Netflix for original tv shows by a mile. Disney for movies by a mile. Acquired shows (linear syndicated) are a huge grab bag amongst all the major players, of which HBO shows fall under this category too. Amazon has a couple that pop onto either list (you can probably guess at them) then Apple is sustained on awards buzz with the one exception of Ted Lasso, which was actually the biggest series in 2023 across the board. Here’s eyeballs in general, which is why we’re going to see D+ gobble Hulu.

I’m very curious who’s winning the “buzz game” In the intermediate timeframe?

Disney says it has an estimated 157 million global monthly active users on its ad-supported tiers: January 8, 2025 (Burbank, Calif) – Disney Advertising, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS), is sharing its estimated global and domestic (U.S. and Canada) ad-supported MAU numbers, cumulative across its streaming portfolio, and its detailed calculation methodology. At the 5th annual Tech and Data Showcase at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) today, President of Global Advertising, Rita Ferro, is sharing that the company’s ad-supported monthly active users have reached an estimated 157 million globally, including 112 million domestically, on average per month over the last six months. “Disney sits at the intersection of world class sports and entertainment content, with the most high-value audiences in ad-supported global streaming at scale,” said Rita Ferro, President of Global Advertising. “We wanted to be the first to offer our industry greater transparency into the methodology used to estimate our engaged global ad-supported monthly active users.” Additional details include: Unlike linear advertising, there is no industry standard methodology for measuring global streaming advertising audience size. Disney Advertising set out to define a globally consistent approach and methodology to estimate ad-supported audience numbers. The ad-supported MAU numbers are derived from active accounts across Disney’s streaming ecosystem (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+)* who have viewed ad-supported content continuously for more than 10 seconds. Each active account is then multiplied by the number of estimated users per account (global average is 2.6 and it varies by application and region) to estimate the total number of users. Multipliers are determined by first-party survey data representing subscribers in regions with an advertising tier.** This survey includes more than 13,000 individuals ages 18-64. As an advertising industry leader focused on proving the power of our data, this is another step that delivers intentional and impactful results for brands – in a uniquely Disney way. *Estimated active users are added across applications without de-duplication **Does not include Hotstar subscribers Full release below: https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-advertising-shares-ad-supported-monthly-active-users-mau-methodology/
