Looking at all of the streaming services being announced and talked about, Disney really rocked the industry with their old and new shows, Fox product, and offerings. WarnerMedia has months to display their service stuff but they have several such as DC Universe, Boomerang, VRV, and Crunchyroll, plus many studios in their hands to contribute lots of programming to the service along with their gigantic library. Viacom is working alongside their recently acquired service Pluto TV, providing channels and such and CBS has CBS All
Access with their library of old and new shows.
Where does that leave Comcast?
NBCU is toe to toe with WarnerMedia while trying to beat Disney at their game as they have been trying to do for over a decade with limited success. Unlike Disney they don't have many big properties that are fresh enough for people to flock over to their service nor the kind of variety that the other companies have respectively. If anything they would need a lot of guidance to garner success.
1. Spend some big bucks on big name stars and proven producers.
Something Disney had done for their presentation was bringing out the big guns in their IPs being made, such as The Mandalorian and The Falcon and Winter Soilder. There needs to be the same kind of energy NBCU should keep and it's not an easy task.
2. Shows that are being developed for the NBCU networks that has the potential to be big raving hits need to be saved for the service, along with second runs airing on the respective networks.
3. Look into their IPs for new series and miniseries. Jurassic World, Fast and Furious, the Universal Monsters, Back to the Future, Tremors, Riddick, Chucky, etc. Try to look at several of the properties to have producers develop it for the audience.
4. Take hit shows that they own from other streaming places down the road. DreamWorks Animation has a deal with Hulu which Comcast still has a stake in, why not expand the studio to provide the service with more TV series.
5. Bring some comic books to life. Not to be all Marvel here but with Avengers being set to become the biggest movie of all time, now is the time to bring amazing superheroes to life. They have several characters that's owned by DreamWorks because of Classic Media, such as Magnus, Turok, Solar, Doctor Spektor, Space Family Robinson, Mighty Samson and many more that can be updated to either fun/dark live-action series or animated offerings.
6. More than likely acquire another big media company (if no merger proposal works out between CBS and Viacom): Viacom. They have hundreds of characters, big name properties, etc. They collaborated many times over the years, such as Nickelodeon shows being produced at Universal Studios Flordia, Universal owning the older Paramount movies and shorts, and characters appearing at Universal Orlando Resort. Comcast could surely benefit from it.
7. Make the price affordable. Disney has a very decent price for their service and they have a lot of product about to premiere on there. There is no way that NBCU's service should be more.
Any other suggestions?
