More Sharing For Streaming: Nearly 40% Of U.S. Titles

A more mature U.S. streaming industry has witnessed growing efforts for platforms to share TV and movie content on a non-exclusive basis.

Nearly 40% of U.S. titles -- 67,000 of 172,000 titles -- appeared on two or more services as of July 2025, says Ampere Analysis. This is up from 2020, when there was 27% sharing of content on two or more services.

By comparison, just 13% of U.K. streaming services share content, and 8% in France.

Some 36,120 titles are on three or more services, while 30,960 are on two or more.

Overall, 61% of titles (105,000) are exclusive. The percentage of titles on three or more services has seen major increases -- rising from 9% in 2020 to 21% currently.

According to the survey, ad-free subscription services (SVOD) continue to be largely more exclusive than ad-supported platforms (AVOD).

While an individual media company tends to share content with its in-house, owned platforms, content sharing is growing among many outside companies.

For example, now 35% of NBCU's Peacock library is shared with Amazon's Prime Video, compared to 14% in 2020.

Ad-supported and FAST (free, ad-supported streaming television) channels tend to do more sharing -- with 43% of overall tiles overlapping.

The biggest current sharers are Fox Corp.'s Tubi and Roku's Roku Channel -- at 23,600 shared titles.

Older library TV and movie programming has a higher tendency to be shared. Titles released between 2010 and 2019 make up 43% of shared content.

Newer TV and movie content (released in 2020 to 2025) is at a shared rate of 28%.
