Broadcast’s Peter White assesses Ampere Analysis’ research into the secretive SVoD service’s content strategy in the UK.
Netflix is cementing its growth in the UK, where it has 6.1 million subscribers, by overhauling its programme library to move from a longtail warehouse to a premium platform.
The SVoD service’s second stage of growth is built around a constant refresh of its TV catalogue, with original commissions and high-profile acquisitions replacing older titles.
Exclusive data, provided by research firm Ampere Analysis, reveals that Netflix refreshed an average of 10.6% of its titles each month between July 2015 and March 2016. That rate jumped to 13% of programmes in April 2016.
This turnover comes alongside a huge cull in titles more than two years old. Netflix UK cut its catalogue by 490 TV and film titles from December 2015 to June 2016, from 2,502 to 2,012.
This echoes similar moves in the Us, where the firm reduced the total number TV shows on offer from 1,609 in January...

Time for an anomaly in the "Best Movies Ever?" canon: I'm not saying I completely adore the 1970 gay ensemble curio The Boys in the Band, but I am saying it's essential. It's also bizarre, provocative, embarrassing, really senseless, and sometimes totally funny. Since its release, the movie has been so discussed, ballyhooed, and reviled that you can never what quite tell what its official reputation is. It's a movie that's more often referenced than seen (at least nowadays, unless you caught the "making of" documentary that came out last year), and the thing is, you should really see it. Because I'm willing to bet there's a large percentage of gay dudes today who can't even imagine what being gay in the New York of the late '60s looked or sounded like. Even if this movie's pat, often self-loathing characters don't pierce the heart of that reality, it's nice to...

A Labour candidate who called Britain's Queen Elizabeth "vermin" has been sacked. Peter White, a would-be local councillor for Havering Borough Council has been axed, after he was forced to apologise for an online rant about Britain's Queen Elizabeth. Peter had described the queen as a "parasite" in a post on the social networking site, Facebook. The comments were posted on the Facebook page of Tory MP Andrew Rosindell, who is campaigning for the royal milestone to be marked with a public holiday. Peter wrote: "What is the point of celebrating the diamond jubilee of someone who is born into a position of privilege; she is a parasite and milks this country for everything she can. "Don't get me wrong,...

The British royal family has taken more than its fair share of abuse this week. Not only did Peter White, who is running for east London's Havering Borough Council as part of the Labour Party, call the Queen Elizabeth II "vermin" via Facebook, but he also wrote that the Queen is a "parasite [who] milks this country for everything she can." If that weren't enough, British comedian Ben Elton raised eyebrows during an Australian book tour this week when he called the Queen "a sad little old lady" and referred to her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as a "mad old bigot." Elton went on to attack the Queen's two eldest sons, Charles, Prince of Wales, and Prince Andrew, Duke of York, whom he branded "a disillusioned ex-hippy" and "a yob," respectively. The tirades ring a bit hollow, however, coming from a man who collaborates with Andrew Lloyd Weber on big-budget musicals.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has been called "vermin" and "a parasite" by a parliamentary candidate on his Facebook page. Peter White, who is seeking to represent the Labour party on Havering Borough Council in London, made the comments on the social networking site in response to Conservative party MP Andrew Rosindell's idea to have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, in 2012, declared a public holiday. White wrote: "What is the point of celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of someone who is born into a position of privilege? "She is a parasite and milks this country for everything she can. She has more front than Margate asking for extra money from the civil list. "Maybe she should sell a couple of her properties.
