On the heels of Netflix’s latest earnings report, investors are focused on the “amazing content” that the company cited for its better-than-expected subscriber growth. That outstanding content also helped it earn the second-most Emmy nominations of any network, behind only Time Warner’s HBO.

Of course, Amazon and Hulu also competed, making it clear that video streaming companies have both the budget and the talent to deliver award-winning shows.

Find out exactly how big these budgets are, and learn more about the impact that streamers have had on the entertainment business, only on this week’s Tech Talk Tuesday!
