The Dan Rayburn Podcast

Welcome to this week's edition of the Dan Rayburn Podcast, the show that curates the streaming media industry news that matters most, unvarnished, unscripted, and providing you with the factual data you need to know without any of the hype, the pulse of the streaming media industry. Welcome to the Dan Rayburn Podcast. I'm Dan Rayburn back this week with co host Mark Donegan.

After a week off, a very busy week off where we had earnings from Disney, Fox, Paramount, WBD, Cloudflare, Fubo, Akamai, we're not even going to get to the mall today Mark so we're gonna pick and choose what we cover here. That's right. We are recording on Friday August 14th just to make that clear so some of you might already know some of the numbers we're gonna throw out.

We've also got news from this week, some interesting news across different streaming services. Disney, we also have an acquisition that Dolby's made of some patent portfolio we'll get into, but let's just jump into earnings from last week. We'll go through the major streaming services. So let's start with Paramount. Paramount Skydance added 2 million Paramount subs. The end of the quarter is 81.6 million.

Now the main thing on here is DTC revenue was 2.8 billion, which was up 9% with 366 million in adjusted EBITDA, which is incredible and obviously extremely good for Paramount Skydance. It's a good amount of EBITDA there. TV media revenue was down 9%, no surprise. Studio revenue is up 16%, but that's hit or miss based on movies and other content. Total revenue was flat.
