The best streaming deals for Memorial Day: Find out how to save on YouTube TV, Peacock and more
With so many streaming services out there, it can be overwhelming from both a content perspective (so many original shows to binge! And why do the biggest ones always seem to drop at once?) and a budgetary one (so many monthly fees!). If you're trying to find ways to make your monthly bills a little less painful though, you've got a few options. There are all kinds of streaming bundles available right now, so whether you're interested in the best deals on live sports, the best way to watch all your favorite shows, or some combination of both, we can help. (And help save you money in the process.) This week, there are tons of great deals to choose from. From discounts on YouTube TV to more niche subscriptions like DAZN, PBS Masterpiece, and PBS Documentaries there's something for everyone, and it's all on sale. Oh, and if you think there are no discounts for Netflix, we've got the scoop on how to subscribe to them for less, too. We've narrowed down a list of the best streaming bundles and deals in one place so you can decide which one works best for your viewing habits. Among the best streaming deals this week, you can subscribe to Starz for just $3 per month, get a deal on YouTube TV, or snag a great discount on DIRECTV. If you're a student (and aren't already on a family streaming plan), a few services offer great limited-time discounts, including Max, which offers 50% off their ad-supported plan (so you'll pay $4.99, though the offer is only good for one 12-month period), and Peacock, which costs students $2.99/month. (And note that you can often find a similar deal on Peacock around Black Friday even if you're not a student.) But the best streaming offer for students might just be Hulu's: They offer students a rate of just $1.99/month for as long as you offer proof of enrollment. Some of the best discounts around aren't through special sales, they're through your cell phone provider. T-Mobile offers discounts or free subscriptions to Apple TV+, Hulu, and Netflix (Standard with Ads), Verizon offers discounted $10 subscriptions to the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle, a Netflix/Max bundle, and YouTube Premium, and select Cricket Wireless plans get Max (with Ads) for free. If you have or want to switch to Xfinity for your internet or cable provider, you can add a $15 streaming bundle into the mix, the Xfinity Streamsaver bundle, which includes three streamers putting out some of the best original content around: Apple TV+, Netflix (Standard with ads) and Peacock. Xfinity internet plans start at $30/month, bringing your total for the Streamsaver bundle to $45/month (that's $10 of savings vs. subscribing to all those services individually). If you're a Spectrum customer, there's a similar cable and streaming bundle available as well and it won't even cost you anything: If you subscribe to Spectrum and opt for a TV Select cable plan or higher, you'll receive free ad-supported subscriptions to Disney+, ViX, Paramount+, as well as Max, which was just recently added to their offerings.

IBCAP releases 2025 Annual Report highlighting growth, legal wins and technology innovation
IBCAP Lab automation, membership expansion, notable lawsuits and sports rights protection victories underscore a year of progress in the Coalition's fight against piracy DENVER, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The International Broadcaster Coalition Against Piracy (IBCAP) has released its 2025 Annual Report, touting the key advancements driven by IBCAP over the past year in addressing piracy worldwide. 'Since our last member meeting in May 2024, IBCAP has expanded its reach by developing proprietary automation software to detect and remove VOD content from pirate IPTV services and set-top boxes – a tool that greatly enhances our ability to remove pirated movies and series,' said Chris Kuelling, executive director of IBCAP. 'We also added DIRECTV, NHK and RAI as new members, bringing a major U.S. distributor, and the leading broadcasters from Japan and Italy to our growing coalition. In addition, our teams made major strides enhancing sports piracy enforcement and continuing to hold non-compliant service providers and hosting providers accountable through targeted legal action.' Report highlights include: Industry-Leading Advancements in Automation: IBCAP's engineering team has advanced its industry-leading tools to automate monitoring of STB and IPTV services and issue takedown notices. The latest development, a VOD-focused tool, automatically detects infringing content, captures evidence of U.S.-based violations and sends DMCA takedown notices to infringing services, CDNs and hosting companies, leading to the global removal of illegal streams. Looking ahead, IBCAP plans to offer this cutting-edge automation technology to non-members and other organizations to expand its impact across the industry and globally. Membership Expansion: New members, DIRECTV, NHK and RAI extend IBCAP's protection to focus on mainstream American content and the Japanese and Italian-language markets. Litigation against CDNs and Hosting Providers: IBCAP coordinated significant legal actions against hosting providers Virtual Systems and Innetra. These complaints followed a $3 million settlement with Datacamp Limited, which has led to increased compliance with IBCAP takedown notices and a measurable rise in pirate stream removal rates. Sports Piracy Enforcement: IBCAP continues to have an industry-leading deterrent and takedown effect on cricket piracy. During the IPL 2024 tournament, IBCAP disrupted 6,723 streams and more than 2.1 million views on Facebook Live streams worldwide. During the 2024 T20 Cricket World Cup tournament, the IBCAP lab removed 3783 streams and disrupted more than 1 million views on Facebook Live streams worldwide. Action Against Major Pirate Services: IBCAP coordinated the filing of a lawsuit in April 2025 against Lemo TV and Kemo IPTV. Related pirate services accounted for nearly 30% of all unauthorized streams detected on STB and IPTV services monitored by the IBCAP lab in the first quarter of 2025. The lawsuit seeks more than $25 million in statutory damages and a broad injunction to shut down this service. The IBCAP 2025 Annual Report can be found here.

(IBCAP) is a coalition of leading international and U.S. content owners, broadcasters, and distributors representing more than 220 television channels from the U.S. and around the world.
