I've gotten more enjoyment out of the MGM cable channel than any of the streaming services in the last six months. -- nm

Epix is the crown jewel of MGM right now. It's MGM's shadow streaming service. -- nm

To me it seems almost even odds that Apple doubles down and purchases somebody (ies) as they decide to fold -- nm

That's the thing. Since it's Apple, all options are on the table.

Apple remains the prime candidate to buy themselves a streaming service with all that money in the bank. But that money may already have a destination

Consolidation is a good observation. There's also clawing back of content and price hikes for content offered. Could fold a few of the fringe -- nm

Gotcha. That's like Pluto TV, tubi, etc, right? I thought Pluto was owned by Viacom, but maybe I'm wrong. -- nm

Pluto TV is something else, although what - exactly - is unclear. But, yes, Tubi, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live

The one triggering this question for me is Discovery+. 90% of the ads on HGTV are for it, and word I've heard is that the initial signups was awful.

TV ad revenue is in free fall anyway. Attempts like this are an attempt to save a failing business model.
