Netflix might just be shaking things up with a fresh idea: always-on channels. Yep, kind of like Pluto TV or Tubi, but with a Netflix twist. This could be a game-changer if they pull it off, especially since Netflix’s ad-supported tier is already grabbing attention despite its recent $8.99 price tag.
The streaming giant is on the lookout for ways to keep us glued to our screens, especially since engagement has been on a bit of a slide. Apart from the always-on channels, Netflix is considering bundles with other streaming services, something that’s already a hit with Apple TV and Prime Video fans. This all comes as Netflix tries to tackle why shows like those after their first season tend to lose steam. For more on that, check out our piece on why Netflix shows struggle after season one.
Netflix is also spicing things up with new content like video podcasts and clips from digital media brands such as BuzzFeed, aiming to give viewers more stuff to have on in the background. While a spokesperson from Netflix, Adrian Zamora, kept mum on the details, it’s clear they’re exploring all avenues to keep us entertained. Keep an eye out for any official announcements and maybe think about snagging some deals on the latest gadgets to enjoy all this potential new content.
