The Streaming Horse Race

It appears that Netflix is losing some of its mojo ...

... Shares of Netflix have now fallen each of the last nine trading days, as the stock began its downfall even before it released its quarterly financial report, which indicated it lost subscribers in the U.S. for the first time since launching its streaming service nearly a decade ago.

This couldn't have anything to do with Diz Col coming into the streaming space in a few months with its $7 per month fee, could it?

Or that some of Netflix's big suppliers will be picking up their metaphorical marbles and moving to different platforms?

  1. Since you disabled the comments on "Work Around Town #4", and since I don't know your email address, I decided to ask you about this Cartoon Network Studios project called "Rumble Jaw" here instead:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-goldberg-53647b63/
    Did you know about this?

  4. From my spies and stoolies ...

    "Rumble Jaw" is a Special.

    It's based on the characters from Adventure Time.
