Netflix’s announcement that NBC’s hit show “The
Office” will be pulled from its lineup after 2020 and
head to NBCUniversal’s upcoming service is the
latest example of jockeying between screening
services that is set to heat up as they bulk up their
TV and movie offerings to attract users.
In a tweet Thursday Netflix said it was “sad” that
NBC was taking back the show but added it will
still be on Netflix for the next year and a half.
As people abandon traditional pay TV providers
like cable, services like Netflix and Hulu have
benefited by offering viewers TV shows from
traditional networks. But content makers like
NBC Universal, Disney and Warner Media are
entering the game and will likely take back
much of their own shows and movies.
