NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Netflix is hoping advertising can turn things around after losing millions of subscribers over the summer.
The streaming service has launched a cheaper, ad-supported subscription plan in the UK for just £4.99 per month.
The new option means significant savings for customers currently paying £6.99, £10.99 or £15.99 on one of the company’s three plans.
In return, viewers will be treated to adverts running between 15 or 30 seconds in length playing before and during series and films. There will be an average of four to five minutes of adverts per hour.
