The New York Post is currently reporting that media giant Netflix has been in talks with television studios in an attempt to acquire the rights to in-season TV episodes. The Post cites “a person familiar with the matter” and wrote that Netflix is willing to offer content owners anywhere between $70,000 and $100,00 per episode for current media. A move like this would bolster Netflix’s somewhat dusty streaming content lineup. The report goes on to note that a current hiccup in the negotiations is between studios and broadcast networks. The studios are claiming to own the streaming rights to content produced for television networks while TV network executives are also laying claim to the same rights, which is what the fuss is all about.

As of late, Netflix has turned its focus to streaming media services with the company recently announcing the addition of a streaming-only monthly subscription plan in the U.S, something it has previously never offered before. Netflix declined to comment on the report when asked by the New York Post, indicating that the information is likely true. What do you think of the whole plan? We love using Netflix and having in-season TV episodes would be a hugeplus.
