It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • The Illusion of Choice: Parallels Between the Home Cinema Industry of the 1980S and Modern Streaming Services
    International Journal of Media, Journalism and Mass Communications (IJMJMC) Volume 5, Issue 4, 2019, PP 01-08 ISSN 2454-9479 http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-9479.0504001 www.arcjournals.org The Illusion of Choice: Parallels between the Home Cinema Industry of the 1980s and Modern Streaming Services Adam L. Miller* Aichi Shukutoku University, Aichi Pref, Sakuragaoka Ward 23, Nagoya City, Japan *Corresponding Author: Adam L. Miller, Aichi Shukutoku University, Aichi Pref, Sakuragaoka Ward 23, Nagoya City, Japan Abstract: This research article hopes to look at the prolific rise of VHS and home cinema in the 1980s; how it altered the viewing experiences of film-lovers, how the industry adapted to accommodate to this new market and how these viewing habits that started decades ago, still resonate today. The article will be drawing parallels between the VHS based home cinema of the 1980s to the subscription based streaming applications which are prolific today, using Netflix Inc. as the main point of focus. Keywords: “Film Studies;” “VHS;” “Home Cinema;” “Streaming” “Netflix;” 1. INTRODUCTION The article will go on to explore how the sudden emergence of home cinema in the 1980s allowed viewers to explore films, genres, filmmakers and content that is often referred to as „world cinema‟ that they may have otherwise been unaware of. It will be argued that streaming services have the same potential to expose viewers to a wide variety of content, but this potential may not be being fulfilled, as it is not in the best interests of streaming services to have viewers searching through unfamiliar territory.
