Comments

Falkmilan: interesting that US streamers are behind this growth, wonder if they're cannibalizing local ad revenue too
Echo Cipher: still can't believe this is how much we're paying out to yank streaming services every year
Dane: but does that 'strength' necessarily mean good value for UK-made content?
Bruno: interesting that it's US streamers driving growth, do they have more say in programming now?
Elin: Not surprising given the streaming wars are getting more absurd by the day, but at what cost to actual quality?
Diegow: pact's numbers always paint a rosy picture but it does say something about the value we're creating for these streamers, wonder if the uk producers are getting their fair
Cohentalia: this doesn't surprise me at all, we know how big a role US streamers play in global content
Neon Serpent: i'm surprised to see them focusing on the us streamers' impact - haven't Pact made any statements about how britain can strengthen its own streaming services in response?
Silent Moth: never thought I'd see the day US streamers running the show in London too
Brunof: sounds like our TV industry's getting swept up in something bigger than itself
Avaokafor: interesting that Pact is touting this as a sign of strength when most of those earnings probably came from Netflix and Disney+
