NFLX TMUS

Per Variety, Viacom’s Pluto TV recently entered into a new content licensing deal with BBC Studios.

The deal includes about 700 content hours featuring approximately 1,000 episodes including Doctor Who, Robin Hood, Antiques Roadshow, Primeval, Being Erica and Bedlam. Additionally, Doctor Who and Antiques Roadshow will have separate channels on the free streaming service.

BBC Studios content will be available on Pluto TV from May for users only in the United States.

Notably, Discovery is the other company that recently inked a 10-year deal with BBC in its efforts to launch its own streaming service. While Discovery acquired non-fictional content, Viacom tapped fictional content, thereby eliminating competition for BBC content.

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.

This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
