News Could be a Lucrative Opportunity for Netflix, Analyst Says

TV programmers cutting their newsroom staffs in light of shrinking TV news audiences -- particularly among cable news outlets --- could be an opportunity for Netflix to enter the field, nScreenMedia's Colin Dixon wrote Sunday. In addition, he said Amazon reportedly is considering adding news to its Prime Video service. Netflix management has repeatedly said the company is not interested in news, but it said the same about sports previously, Dixon said. Netflix has an advantage in that many members of its huge subscriber base use it daily, Dixon added.
