Streaming will overtake cable, satellite in Canada next year, report predicts
Eiley pointed to Apple and Disney as two major corporations that plan to launch streaming platforms in the United States later this year.
Traditional outlets, particularly cable TV and satellite across Canada, have seen a downturn in subscribers of roughly two per cent each year since 2015, the report said. "You're starting to see the global platforms enter Canada, and that'll only intensify in the next couple of years."The Canadian adoption of streaming offerings has been much slower than in the United States, in part because Canadians have less than half the streaming options Americans do, Eiley added.
