ClikiaTV Solidly Positioned as Seismic Shift Towards Streaming Continues; Recent Disney Acquisition of 20th Century Fox Properties Streaming-Driven


BATON ROUGE, LA, Feb. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clikia Corp. (OTC PINK: CLKA), provider of ClikiaTV, a streaming (over-the-top, OTT) cable television subscription service, today discussed the increasingly dramatic growth in the rate of consumers who have become “cord cutters” – consumers who are abandoning traditional cable television as their primary mode for obtaining video entertainment content.

David Loflin, CLKA’s CEO, commented, “The cord-cutting phenomenon is dynamic, multi-faceted and difficult to predict. However, we are finding that cord-cutters are looking not only for greater flexibility but are also seeking meaningful monetary savings as they seek alternative modes for obtaining video entertainment. Our ‘on-the-ground’ experience matches the findings of the TiVo Q2 2017 Video Trends Report where 85.3% of cord-cutters terminated cable subscriptions due to ‘price/too expensive’”. Mr. Loflin further stated that the company remains convinced that ClikiaTV is well positioned in the OTT space.

Industry Data Shows ClikiaTV Sits in OTT Industry Sweet Spot.

According to a recent study from Digital TV Research, global OTT TV revenues will more than double from $37 billion in 2016 to $83 billion in 2022, driven in large measure by the success of subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services, such as Netflix and ClikiaTV. It is the success of SVOD services like Netflix that propelled SVOD to the top of OTT revenues sources in 2013: by 2022, SVOD is expected to generate $41.2 billion, or approximately 50%, of OTT revenues, compared to $29.0 billion for advertising-supported video on demand (VOD), $8.1 billion for download-to-own and electronic sell-through and $5.2 billion for rental.
