I recently interviewed Dominic Sunnebo, Commercial Director at Worldpanel by Numerator, for Streaming Media. We discussed new data from the Q2 2025 Entertainment on Demand report. Topics covered include:

  • Sports driving nearly 1 in 4 new streaming subscriptions

  • Why sports are a rented audience—loyal to teams, not platforms

  • The rapid rise of women’s sports and its impact on rights deals

  • The growth of ad-supported tiers and which services are leading in ad experience

  • How local platforms are competing with global streamers

  • Netflix’s UI refresh and the role of brand vs. content in retention
