Netflix reportedly considers adding always-on channels, bundles

Netflix is reportedly considering the introduction of "always-on" channels that would stream curated selections of shows and movies, according to The Wall Street Journal. This approach mirrors existing free, ad-supported services like Pluto TV and Tubi, but would likely be integrated into Netflix's paid subscription model.

The company has seen increasing popularity with its ad-supported subscription tier, which was recently subject to a price increase. The introduction of linear-style channels could offer a different viewing experience, providing a predictable schedule of content.

Additionally, Netflix is reportedly evaluating the sale of bundles that would include subscriptions to other streaming services. This strategy is already employed by competitors such as Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video, who offer combined packages.

These potential developments suggest Netflix is seeking to diversify its offerings and adapt to a competitive streaming landscape by providing more structured content delivery and potentially increased value through bundled services.
