OTT Churn Rises As Consumers Switch And Sample

August 11, 2015

Lest pay-TV providers start thinking that their hotshot over-the-top rivals have it all, consider this latest tidbit: OTT services are dealing with churn, too. Big-time.

About 85% of U.S. broadband households subscribe to an OTT service, and in the last year about 4% of U.S. broadband homes pulled the plug on Netflix, comprising 9% of the Netflix customer base. Meanwhile, a massive 7% of broadband homes nixed Hulu Plus in the last year, wiping away about half of its subscriber base, according to Parks Associates, which produced the research report on churn.

From the article "OTT Churn Rises As Consumers Switch And Sample" by Daisy Whitney.
