BBC And ITV In Talks About Netflix-Style Service
- The Guardian, Friday, March 11, 2016 6:20 AM
The BBC is understood to have held talks with rivals including ITV about launching a Netflix-style video streaming service. The talks, which are understood to also involve NBC Universal, the owner of the producer of shows including "Downton Abbey," centre on the potential to develop a subscription TV service. The service is likely to mostly focus on providing older, archive TV content, not the first-run of shows, although it is understood there would be a certain amount of original commissions.
