Quibi Could Have Big Launch, Bigger Challenges, nScreenMedia Says

Despite what could be a massive early sign-up of subscribers and much quality content, prospects for short-form video platform Quibi are bleak due to the pandemic shutdown on new content production, nScreenMedia analyst Colin Dixon blogged Monday. It also will be challenged by such emerging over-the-top competition as Comcast's Peacock streaming service debuts in July and HBO Max in May, and by belt-tightening by consumers, he said. Quibi didn't comment Tuesday.
