- Description: StreamTV Insider’s Bevin Fletcher reports that Ampere Analysis finds Apple TV is the only major U.S. streamer increasing scripted content while rivals lean into unscripted fare, with just 18% of its catalog unscripted versus Netflix’s 25% and HBO Max’s 72%, per Ampere and Antenna data.

**Why it matters.** Apple TV’s Emmy wins for Widow’s Bay drove roughly 300,000 signups in the two weeks after the awards, double the premiere-period total, showing awards buzz now converts directly into subscriber acquisition.
