Genius Brands International Inc (GNUS)

I've used info from an article about Amazon Prime Video Direct to get a rough idea. I also used a lot of assumptions.

A show’s first 100,000 hours of streaming within a year earns US$0.04 per hour, scaling up to a maximum of US$0.10 for hours 500,000 to 999,999.

for 1,000,000 hours
first 100,000 hours worth $4,000
next 400,000 hours worth about $28,000
next 500,000 hours worth $50,000

So first million hours worth about $82,000

If, the rate stays at $0.1/hr, next million hours in the year would be worth $100,000.


GNUS's investor presentation said they were getting 2.5 million views a month. I don't know what they consider a view. Most shows on the Genius Network ( not YouTube or other sites) are half hour. Assuming each view is half an hour, 2.5 million views converts to 1.25 million hours or roughly $125,000.

If, a view is less than half an hour, the amount drops. I, also, assume ad supported sites pay more.
