20,000 foot view: Bundling can ease pressures caused by the cost-of-living crisis by delivering consumer choice and stable recurring revenues for TV-streaming services. This is not a return to the pay TV model of old, but a simplification of a fragmented entertainment landscape to support streaming TV’s route to profitability. Consumers want bundled access to multiple TV-streaming services via a single monthly payment. Super aggregators are best placed to deliver but must shift TV streaming away from the unpredictability of monthly billing to stabilised annualised payments. In this business strategy report, we evaluate the bundling options on offer and explore how cross-entertainment bundles will reshape the consumption of video, audio, live service games and interactive experiences. This report includes an accompanying case study: Virgin Media stream: Flexible bundling dynamics for cost-sensitive consumers.
