The WWE Network is now a top five streaming service, based on a report by market research and consulting firm Parks Associates. WWE did a press release to tout the news, boasting their status as a top-five Over-the-top (OTT) streaming service, with WWE Network ranking above NFL Game Pass and HBO Now. The only services above WWE are MLB.tv in fourth spot, Hulu in third spot, Amazon Video in second, and Netflix the number one market leader for streaming services. With only 1.2 million subscribers, the WWE are some way off the dominance of Netflix, which has a staggering seventy million subscribers. However, market analysts see the Network as a strong product, due to the fresh content and live specials that occur monthly. That gives them an edge, as there's no "seasonality" compared to some other streaming products. In terms of sport, only MLB is ahead of Vince McMahon's product. Reports like this are encouraging to WWE, as they are very much in the infancy of the Network. A long term goal of four million subscribers is still being talked up by WWE Chief Financial Officer George Barrios. That still feels some way off, but there's no doubt that the content is continually improving. Next year should bring further growth, with new markets in Europe and Asia opening up, so there's absolutely reason for increased optimism within WWE right now.
