The cheap streaming era is over. Here’s why your bills are going up

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:30:26 GMT

Wendy Lee and Thomas Suh Lauder | Los Angeles Times (TNS)When a flood of streaming services entered the market four years ago, the free trials were plentiful and the prices were extremely low — with Apple TV+ selling for just $4.99 a month and Disney+ charging a mere $6.99 a month.But now, as those services become more established, subscription costs have ballooned.

Fees are expected to increase even more next year, the firm said.Media companies are charging more as they struggle to transition from profitable but declining business models — like traditional television channels — to on-demand streaming services, many of which are still losing money. The surges in pricing come as consumers are grappling with inflation and broader economic uncertainty. People who abandoned expensive cable bun...

Twinkies, Toys R Us and Gymboree share the distinction of being beloved consumer brands that were euthanized by their parent companies, but resurrected under new ownership to the delight of distraught devotees.A cruise line being added to the list of brand favorites brought back from the dead is nothing short of a maritime miracle on the heels of a pandemic.
