“Netflix has released data on its viewers’ binge-watching habits after analysing more than 100 TV series from 190 of its territories.
The US SVoD service, famous for not releasing viewing figures for shows, said the programmes most likely to be viewed for more than two hours per day were in the thriller, horror and sci-fi categories. However, the streamer avoided giving concrete data on the exact number of viewers.
Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Orphan Black and Sense8 were highlighted as some of the shows placed in this “devoured” category.
Netflix also placed series that were binge-watched but for under two hours a day in a “savoured” category. Programmes in this category include its political thriller House of Cards and comedies such as Arrested Development and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” #mediaquake

A Deal Between Apple and Comcast Could Kill Netflix and Change the Future of Net-TV
Dennis Kneale, thedailybeast.comIf any company can take Netflix down, it’s Apple. Pair Apple with Comcast, and it seems like certain death.

“Apple is in talks with Comcast, the nation’s #1 cable giant, about starting a new Internet-based streaming service, The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday. And that could pose a big threat to Netflix. Netflix shares are down another 3% today, in fact, after dropping 4% on Friday as well. A deal between Apple and Comcast would be a huge advance for Net-TV, streaming live and on-demand video from a new Apple set-top device plugged directly into Comcast cable systems. But it also could hasten the erosion of a far bigger business at Comcast—cable-TV, in which fat packages of dozens of channels afford high profit margins and mask barely detectable price increases and any link between usage and pricing.”
