In past recessions cable operators and other multi-channel video suppliers have seen a dip in growth rates for premium services such as HBO, Showtime or Starz. That might not be happening this time. Or at least the impact has not yet been seen.
At the same time, Netflix growth seems to have accelerated as well.

So far, this is a bit of a surprise to the upside.
