Comcast revealing the price of its recently announced streams saver bundle which includes Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV plus Y finds is Alexander Canal here with the latest on the streaming, the bundling landscape, the bundling landscape and and our first clue to how much some of these bundles will cost because we've had a lot of announcements recently when it comes to bundles.

Now we know that the pricing of the stream saver will be 15 bucks a month.

Now, as you mentioned, this includes Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV Plus, it is going to be the ad supported versions for both Peacock and Netflix.

It's going to be offered for Comcast, broadband internet and TV subscribers in particular.

So this is obviously a play to try and keep those subscribers which has been on a steady decline.

Customers can also access Netflix and Apple TV plus subscriptions through Comcast.

Now TV streaming platform, this is a new streaming platform.

They're trying to gain traction to that includes Peacock and 40 other channels for 20 bucks a month.

But for an additional 10, you can secure access to the Netflix and Apple TV Plus platform.

So obviously, we're in a moment right now where a lot of these companies are facing increased competition.

There's a lot of pressure to scale the services to make sure that you're not only attracting subscribers but retaining those subscribers over the long term.

And analysts have told me this is a big play to combat against churn, which is basically a practice of people signing up for a service and then immediately canceling it.

So if you can create some sort of value among the bundle, then hopefully consumers will sign up and will continue to stay over the long term.

So that, that is the big question here.

Yeah, it's so interesting because we talked about this.

I mean, it's tr I, I get it in, you know, in theory, I'm gonna reduce churn, I'm gonna increase engagement.

But at the end of the day, I you it's, is it really about the bundling or you have to give me great content and you got to invest in that, that's what keeps me engaged.

Yeah.

And I think it's interesting to see which companies are partnering with whom they think is someone that could potentially offer that really solid content.

I think the fact that you do have Netflix, which has consistently been called the winner of the streaming war with Peacock streaming streaming.

I think that is a big play.

But you know, I think time will tell whether or not consumers are actually going to buy into all of this it's certainly an interesting time to be a consumer because it's hard to know what content to watch.

I can keep track of the bundle.

It's crazy.

And now with sports too, I mean, we have that upcoming sports joint ventures streaming bundle with Warner Brothers, Discovery Fox and Disney.

When I mentioned the price that pricing is going to be in, it's probably gonna be closer to about 50 bucks a month, but that's going to set a big standard when it comes to the other over the top sports streaming platforms.

ESPN coming out with its own exclusive uh over the top platform in 2025 whatever it's bundle with Warner Brothers, Discovery and Foxes, whatever that is priced at, that should give us a good indication of what the ESPN O TT platform will be.

But pricing is going to be a big factor here.

They can price too high, but they also can price it too cheap or else you're not gonna make money.

Yeah, thank you.

Appreciate it.
