Have you noticed there's almost nothing to watch On Demand? The pay channels are stripping down, making the extra cost of subscribing to them a waste of money.
They've all turned to original programming, like cinemax's Strike Back, which I love to hate. Way to intense, but great characters.
So it's no surprise Netflix just out bid Starz for Disney movies.
NY Times: Walt Disney Studios said on Tuesday that it had completed a deal to show films from its Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm banners on Netflix, replacing a less lucrative pact with Starz.
The agreement is the first time that one of Hollywood’s Big Six studios has chosen Web streaming over pay television.
In a statement on Tuesday, however, Starz said that it had decided to part ways with Disney, not the other way around.
“Our decision not to extend the agreement for Disney output past that time allows us the opportunity to implement our plan to dramatically ramp up our investment in exclusive, premium-quality original series which will best meet the needs of our distributors and subscribers,” the company said in the statement.
