Netflix executives have discussed making third-party streaming services available within its app. According to The New York Times, as reported by The Verge, the talks centered around bringing Peacock and Fox One to Netflix. It is unclear whether Netflix would sell subscriptions to these services or add their content to its app.
This potential move would be a significant change for Netflix, which has previously only joined bundles with other streamers. Amazon's Prime Video and Roku have long sold subscriptions to rival services, offering a range of content to their users.
The discussions come as Netflix seeks to compete with YouTube and Roku in becoming a one-stop shop for TV content, as noted by The New York Times, via Techmeme.
