Speculation is growing that Netflix will launch a lower-cost subscription tier that is supported by advertising.
In March, Disney announced that they would be launching an ad-supported tier, joining other providers such as Now TV in the UK and Hulu in the USA. While many viewers will be disappointed with this trend, more choice is ultimately good for consumers if it leads to a more sustainable ad-funded streaming model for content.
With the fragmentation of the streaming market in an economic downturn, households will take a ‘portfolio’ approach to blending ad-funded streaming, ad-free and hybrid services.
This means media plans will get more complex, and measurement will be more important than ever.
