State of Streaming Publishes 296-Platform Directory
State of Streaming publishes a searchable directory and resource hub that tracks 298 streaming platforms, apps and companies across categories such as Premium & SVOD, Live TV & vMVPD, Free & Ad-Supported (FAST), Sports, News, Kids & Family, International and niche verticals. The page highlights recent editorial pieces (e.g., Roku surpassing 100M streaming households; Netflix’s ad business running on Amazon infrastructure; FreeWheel’s AI contextual targeting; TiVo Ads building household IDs) and provides links to articles, briefs, podcasts, a directory, an asset library and USPI rankings. The directory lists major publishers and adtech vendors, and groups platforms into explicit counts per category to serve media buyers, adtech practitioners and streaming ecosystem participants as a reference catalog.
State of Streaming: Streaming, AdTech and AI Briefing
The State of Streaming briefing (April 26, 2026) aggregates 10 stories across adtech, supply, AI and measurement. Highlights include reports that Netflix is interested in acquiring The Pat McAfee Show after the program posted its best quarter, Roku surpassing 100 million streaming households and adding niche sports (Savannah Bananas), and Comcast launching a bundled offering called StreamSaver.

Other items covered include Freely opening its live TV guide to CTV OS partners and QVC filing for Chapter 11, underscoring publishers’ and platforms’ differing strategic bets in live and shoppable TV.
