Media companies have also been shapeshifting as the business model changes due to consumers’ departure from pay-TV bundles in favor of streaming. Paramount Skydance
has agreed to acquire WBD; Fox Corp.
reached a deal to acquire Roku

According to YouTube’s subscription page, it has over 125 million global Premium members.
