Netflix’s next move could be into streaming live programming, a feature that Apple TV+<\/a> has offered its users for just over a month. <\/p>\n

\n

As the behemoth of streaming, Netflix is on the lookout for the next potential hit feature to encourage higher subscriptions<\/a>. After years of shaking up the broadcast industry with on-demand streams, it seems that the streamer may actually go down the live content route. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to<\/a> Deadline<\/em>, Netflix is looking into whether to offer live streaming to its users. Netflix has previously confirmed it was in the early stages of creating a live streaming solution, but had yet to announce a formal introduction of live content. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is proposed that the live capability could be used in competition series like the upcoming dance contest “Dance 100,” or potentially as part of a revival of the Netflix Is A Joke festival with live sets. Live reunion shows for reality TV has also been proposed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The live streaming wouldn’t strictly be one-way, as it is thought that live voting could be included in the feature. For competition shows, the home audience could potentially vote on a winner, or to vote to eliminate contestants, all live. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If Netflix goes ahead with live show streams, it would bring Netflix in line with more traditional broadcasters with time-based schedules. It will also be more aligned with other streaming services that already provide live streams of broadcast networks, such as YouTube TV<\/a> and Hulu<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unusually, Apple has already beaten Netflix into the live streaming space. With the start of MLB “Friday Night Baseball<\/a>” in April, Apple TV+ has provided regular live-streamed content to its users around the world. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So far, it seems that Netflix may not use such a feature for sports broadcasting at this time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
