Netflix turned from chasing HBO to signing a deal with WWE

  It makes more sense to replace every cable TV channel than just one

    Netflix replacing every cable channel? That’s a bit out there. Cable’s got the hookup on some real niche stuff that streaming can't touch yet—like specific sports channels, local news, and those obscure hobby shows. Plus, the economics don't really mesh; cable and streaming rake in cash differently. And let’s not forget, not everyone's internet is zippy enough for streaming to take over completely. Netflix is making moves, no doubt—snagging WWE shows they’re stepping into the live game, but they aren’t about to kill cable TV just yet. They’re just beefing up their own space.

    I don't think that's a play. Cable’s got its own lane with stuff streaming can’t match. Netflix is big, but it's not trying to be all things to all people. It's just flexing into new areas, like live WWE shows, to grab more viewers. It’s about adding spice, not replacing the whole kitchen.
