INSIGHTS 2019 Traditional TV, Online Video & Streaming INSIGHTS 2019 Traditional TV, online video & streaming - Disney+ special US UK Germany Denmark Sweden Norway Finland 2 AudienceProject Insights 2019 05 Editorial 07 Disney+ CONTENTS 19 Media usage 35 About the study AudienceProject Insights 2019 3 4 AudienceProject Insights 2019 Will Disney spin a business fairytale? Disney is gearing up to take on Netflix in the US Despite Disney+ just now going live in the US and the release still months in the future in Europe, the new streaming service is already looking to become a challenger for the top spots in a crowded field. In the US, more than half have already heard about Disney+ and 43% intend to subscribe. Not surprisingly, especially families with children EDITORIAL are expected to sign up to Disney+. The good news for the incumbent services is that most people will keep their existing packages. However, about 40% of the subscriber-in- tenders expect to cancel one or more of Disney’s competitors, with Netflix being mentioned most often. In the US, Norway and Finland, the likely drop will hit the hardest with 7%, 8% and 8%, respectively. It is not all sour for Netflix though. For the first time, the American com- pany is number one in all the seven countries covered in our study - even in Finland, where the local broadcaster YLE up until now has been sitting on the throne. Talking about thrones, the biggest jump in users in the Nordics comes from HBO Nordic, while HBO is finding it harder to gain traction in its home market. The question is if it can hold that position in the North post Game of Thrones. Rune Werliin Chief Product Officer @ AudienceProject AudienceProject Insights 2019 5 6 AudienceProject Insights 2019 DISNEY+ Even before the launch of Disney+, the awareness of Disney’s new streaming service is massive. Additionally, a lot of people are already considering subscribing to the new streaming service. For many, it will be at the expense of subscriptions to other streaming services, especially Netflix subscriptions.

    DEUTSCHE TV-PLATTFORM: HYBRID TV - BETTER TV HBBTV AND MUCH, MUCH MORE Deutsche TV Platform (DTVP) was founded more than 25 years ago to introduce and develop digital media tech- nologies based on open standards. Consequently, DTVP was also involved in the introduction of HbbTV. When the HbbTV initiative started at the end of 2008, three of the four participating companies were members of the DTVP: IRT, Philips, SES Astra. Since then, HbbTV has played an important role in the work of DTVP. For example, DTVP did achieve the activation of HbbTV by default on TV sets in Germany; currently, HbbTV 2.0 is the subject of a ded- icated DTVP task force within the Working Group Smart Media. HbbTV is a perfect blueprint for the way DTVP works by promoting the exchange of information and opinions between market participants, stakeholders and social groups, coordinating their various interests. In addition, DTVP informs the public about technological develop- ments and the introduction of new standards.
