Video podcasts are becoming a mainstream form of video entertainment, Ampere Analysis says, with 20% of internet users watching them on social video platforms in the past month.

New data from Ampere Analysis reveals that non-English-language productions accounted for 52 percent of Netflix's overall original series slate last year, up from 49% in 2024.

Scripted TV commissions in North America inched up by 3 percent in 2025, Ampere Analysis reveals, a second consecutive year of growth, while international was down 9%.

Streaming platforms are projected by Ampere Analysis to spend $14.2 billion on sports rights this year, with Prime Video topping DAZN as the biggest buyer, accounting for 27% of the overall rights expenditure.

Subscription and FAST platforms are stepping up their efforts in the battlegrounds of sports, live events, and vodcasts.
