“We are sending a message that our content doesn’t have to cost a fortune to watch,” said the CEO of fledgling streamer SkyShowtime, who said there could be more bundling in the future.
Monty Sarhan took the reins of the Comcast/Paramount Global JV last year and has since overseen the hiring of 180 staff across seven offices, a rollout to more than 20 European territories in which Comcast’s Peacock and Now TV, and Paramount+ aren’t present, and the commissioning of a number of original series.
Speaking to Deadline before a NEM keynote in Dubrovnik, he said SkyShowtime’s pricing structure had been forged in response to “double digit inflation, a cost-of-living crisis and with war raging in Ukraine.”
“We are leaning into a consumer value proposition that puts consumers at the forefront, and we launched at a lower price point than our competitors for that reason,” said Sarhan. “We are sending a message that our content doesn’t have to cost a fortune to watch.”
SkyShowtime is now available in the likes of the Nordics, Portugal, Spain and Poland at between €3.99 ($4.30) and €6.99 ($7.50) per month depending on territory. The streamer is “ahead of our subs projections across all markets,” according to the CEO.
Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav recently suggested that rival services will need to bundle together to survive.
Using SkyShowtime as an exemplar, Sarhan said “one of the important ways we can create value is by bundling.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director SPOILER ALERT: This story contains minor spoilers from “The Flash,” now playing in theaters nationwide. Reviews for Warner Bros.’ long-in-the-works “The Flash” movie have been largely favorable to mixed, but most critics agree the film is the latest comic book tentpole to suffer from unappealing visual effects. Leaked scenes on social media have also led to fan bafflement over the film’s VFX, especially an opening sequence in which Ezra Miller’s superhero speeds to Gotham City to save a bunch of falling babies from a collapsing hospital. To say the VFX babies in “The Flash” opening scene are rendered in a hugely un-human way would be an understatement. The same goes for all of the human characters who appear during the movie’s many time travel sequences. Suffice to say, none of them look human at all.
