WarnerMedia To Offer Three Different Versions Of Its Streaming Service

Are we done with this streaming service war just yet? Nope, things are just getting started. The era where we can enjoy all our favorite shows in just a few different services is over. When networks and studios realized they can make more money by releasing their own services, the era of middleman streaming services like Netflix was over.

Next will look to be a big year. Disney will be releasing their own service in the form of Disney+ — and with it, we’ll be getting tons of Marvel and Star was original series, in addition to all other sorts of Disney-branded content. But they won’t be alone. Also joining the fray is WarnerMedia (in addition to their already-existing DC Universe service). But what will they offer?

According to CNN, they will be releasing three different versions of their currently-unnamed service. The first one will reportedly focus on movies, with the second one focusing on original programming and “blockbuster” films. The third service will seemingly be a bundle that offers the best of both worlds, and will also include “a library of other WarnerMedia and content licensed from other producers,” whatever the hell that means.

This all came via an announcement during an analyst event, and is everything I hate about the current media landscape.

“If you’re a media company, you can no longer rely exclusively on wholesale distribution models,” AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said in a news release. “You must develop a direct relationship with your viewers.”

Stephenson isn’t really wrong, though, but at the end of the day, this bifurcation of our content was bound to happen at some point. But what do you think of all this? Let us know your thoughts down below!
