September 27, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): Netflix is perhaps one of the biggest internet streaming services for the netizens out there. In a record move, it has been revealed that the NBC Universal has signed a deal with Netflix that will allow the users to catch the live streaming of NBC’s top shows. As NBC adds to Netflix it seems that the two companies will out-compete their opponents and provide some great services to the customers.
The two companies disclosed that they have signed a multiyear contract that starts from next week. Although the exact tenure of the deal was not, it seems that the partnership will go on for quite some time now. The OTT video distributor has increased its scope by adding NBC’s popular shows to its already gargantuan offerings. Right now Netflix is involved in a battle over Internet supremacy with Hulu and this new deal will give them the edge they needed to attract more members.
Thanks to the new deal, Netflix members will be able to instantly watch a wide array of shows. For example, users can now watch every single episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’. Under the current deal, users can also watch popular shows like 30Rock, The Office, Law & Order etc through the Internet streaming feature. Netflix is trying to save on postage cost by streaming the episodes to the users.
All episodes of the famous ‘Battlestar Galactica’ will also be available on the service. The Netflix members will be required to pay the usual $9 month fee to access all the services. Recently NBC Chief, Jeff Zucker said that he does not want to provide the company’s content through the new Apple TV.
The new partnership between NBC and Netflix will be a great bonus for the Netflix members.
