Now the CEO is having a go at BBC Children shows
" BBC is holding back UK children's shows"
"Ted Sarandos, Netflix's content chief,
has accused the
BBC of stifling the potential of homegrown children's
shows by holding them back
from the US video-on-demand company's
UK streaming service for up to five years.
Sarandos said the restrictive policy of BBC Worldwide,
the corporation's commercial arm, towards licensing kids'
shows to VOD services such as Netflix in the UK means
a potential source of extra money to invest in creating
the next great homegrown show, such as Teletubbies
or In the Night Garden, is being cut off.
He added that his company has been forced to invest in US kids'
shows to offer to its 2 million-plus UK users."
