History

Historical Context

Netflix introduced streaming in January 2007 with about 1,000 titles, shifting focus from its DVD-by-mail model and prompting studios like CBS, Paramount + and Hulu to launch competing subscription plans. The early streaming-vs-broadcast clash led networks to bundle services and raise fees, a pattern reflected today in CBS’s Tracker renewal and Paramount +’s $8.99 price point.
