At last year’s show, Ben Keen boldly declared Netflix the winner of the Streaming Wars. But a year on, with YouTube’s dominance in ad revenue, creator content, and global reach, many are questioning if Netflix’s crown is secure — or if YouTube is poised to emerge victorious.
This panel, featuring Joe Harbinson, Distribution and Partnerships Senior Lead at Channel 4, Matt Westrup, CTO of Hearst Networks EMEA, independent consultant Jo Redfern, Pranab Kapadia, founder and director at Moviegoers International and host, Kauser Kanji of VOD Professional, takes a closer look at the battle between the giants, while also considering the roles of Disney, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and others in shaping the streaming landscape.
Who’s winning, who’s adapting, and what does the future of this rivalry mean for the industry?
