** Barclays says it expects more bundled streaming offerings
or fewer streaming services to address scale challenges, as they
focus on profitability and there are enough incentives to
consider this more seriously in 2025
    ** Streaming services such as Paramount+ and Comcast's
 CMCSA.O  Peacock in their current form likely lack sufficient
scale to achieve profitability compared with Disney+  DIS.N  and
Netflix  NFLX.O  for years to come - brokerage
    ** DIS has folded Hulu Live and Fubo  FUBO.N  into a
separate entity, which will have more viable scale but could
also help with distribution of DIS' core streaming services,
says brokerage
    ** Attempts to create joint ventures such as between Comcast
and Paramount  PARA.O  in some parts of Europe and now abandoned
Venu Sports are expected to continue - Barclays
