Netflix Adds ABC, Disney Content
Posted in: netflix, Today's Chili
Netflix continued its push toward a streaming-focused service this week, thanks to a deal with the Walt Disney Co. that will bring content from Disney and ABC to the site. The deal makes ABC shows like Ugly Betty and Brothers & Sisters available 15 days after they air on the network.
The service will also get access to older episodes of shows like Desperate Housewives and Lost and Disney Channel content like Hannah Montana and High School Musical.
The agreement is being seen as a threat to Hulu, which recently dropped the price of its premium service to match Netflix’s new streaming-only plan. Netflix has been racing to strike deals with content providers. Earlier in the year, deals were struck with Warner Brothers, Universal, and 20th Century Fox.
Select Disney content is already available on the service thanks to a deal with the Starz cable network.
