"Netflix recently changed its "long term view" note to reflect the new way it sees itself: as a TV network."

"On Monday, Netflix made a bunch of small tweaks to the wording in a note meant to advise investors, first pointed out by BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield, but the most telling one is that Netflix changed the sentence that simply read "We are movies and TV shows" to "We are a movie and TV series network."

I wonder if through time we will see a linear Netflix TV channel launch?
They class themselves as a network now because of all the commissions they have done, House Of Cards, Arrested Development, Orange is the New Black, however they won't launch a linear channel, the Netflix format works too well, hence why they can afford these big money shows.

The only chance of seeing Netflix on linear tv is if they sell the rights to some of the content to existing broadcasters.

I could understand a preview service but I guess it will be like YouTube and non-Tivo viewers will get locked out
