Netflix Inc will not make its programming available through a coming TV service expected to be unveiled by Apple Inc, Netflix Chief Executive Reed ...
LOS ANGELES: Netflix Inc, the world's dominant streaming service, will not make its TV shows and movies available through Apple Inc's upcoming video offering, Netflix Chief Executive Reed Hastings said on Monday.
"We prefer to let our customers watch our content on our service," Hastings told reporters at the company's offices in Hollywood."We have chosen not to integrate with their service."Apple is expected to unveil a television and video service at an event on March 25, a move that will amp up competition for Netflix and others that deliver entertainment programming online.
Sources familiar with the matter have told Reuters that the service may resell subscriptions from CBS Corp, Viacom Inc and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp’s Starz among others, as well as Apple’s own original content.Asked about the looming competition, Hastings said the biggest challenge for Netflix is to"not get too distracted" by rivals but still"learn lessons" from them."These are amazing, large, well-funded companies with very significant efforts," Hastings said.
