Netflix CEO: Broadcast TV Might Be Dead by 2030
Speaking in Mexico this week to discuss Netflix's international expansion into Latin America, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings put a predicted shelf date on the legacy industry that is traditional broadcast TV: 2030. "It's kind of like the horse, you know, the horse was good until we had the car," Hastings said. "The age of broadcast TV will probably last until 2030." Hastings also downplayed recent news that Nielsen (long a denier of the cord cutting trend) would finally begin tracking Netflix viewing. "It's not very relevant," he said. "There's so much viewing that happens on a mobile phone or an iPad that [Nielsen won't] capture."
