OTT platforms play a much bigger part in our lives today than ever before. After the Covid-19 pandemic, there is an exponential rise in online streaming trends, and the demand for over-the-top (OTT) and high-quality videos have strategically become a key part of everyone’s integral part. Here we...

Let's take Friends for example, WBTV is expected to make $1 billion each year. And cast and crew has 2% royalty on that.. Which basically means WBTV has to pay almost $20 million each of the cast and crew..

Thats why they have acquired Friends on deal North of $500 million for 5 years by beating out Netflix..

Finally, even though they are all a single company.. Every single division needs to pay for other to utilise anything.. That's the major reason why Universal recently had announced it will be lisencing movies to Prime Video eventhough they have a in-house streaming platform Peacock.. and peacock only gets the movies for 8 months in the 18 months pay-1 window.
