It's time, once again, to see what's what in the streaming wars. For the third year in a row, our hosts — this time Nilay, David, and The Verge's Jake Kastrenakes — have to build a roster of streaming options that will win awards, show 4K content, satisfy their live TV needs, and much more. First, the hosts decide who won last year's competition, and then they pick their favorites for 2025.Make sure you listen to the episode before you read this, but here are the results of the draft:Jake's picks:Cheap: TubiAwards: Netflix4K: HuluLive: Instagram LiveNiche: PBS PassportContent: LoFi GirlWild Card: KanopyNilay's picks:Cheap: TikTokAwards: Max4K: Disney PlusLive: Sunday TicketNiche: KaleidescapeContent: CNBCWild Card: F1 TVDavid's picksCheap: PeacockAwards: Amazon Prime4K: YouTube PremiumLive: YouTube TVNiche: BritBoxContent: Stranger Things season 5Wild Card: Paramount PlusWe want to know who you think won the draft!
