ABC television and Netflix have reached an agreement to add the alphabet network’s shows to the video subscription service’s library of streaming video content.
While some have criticized the lack of movie selection on the Netflix Watch Instantly service, there is no denying that the television department has been chugging along. Â With huge catalogs of episodes from the BBC and CBS already in the catalog, ABC has now joined the fold with shows such as LOST, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy and more.
Some shows are available now (LOST seasons 1 – 4 are already in the store for sure), and more shows will be added beginning in September.
This is a great move for both ABC and Netflix, but you have to wonder when this is going to start impacting cable subscriptions and DVD sales. Â Why buy when you can just watch on demand?
