Happy Friday War & Peaceniks!

This is the first piece in a series on Streaming Wars II: The next phase of the media battle for money and attention. 

The First Streaming Wars were fought only on one front and viewed just through a video lens. The Second will be a multi-faceted, multi-front war, battled across all the platforms for media and entertainment.  As such, each of the four pieces in this series will focus on one of the four fronts of Streaming Wars II: Audio, Gaming, Video, Social.

Today… Audio on blast 

Below is a data-strip of the Audio sector of the Media Universe. These are not the publishers, but rather the major platforms and providers of the Media Universe’s Sonic System, each profiled with key power indicators in several categories beneath them.
