Emmy Nominations Validate Netflix Strategy

The era of Internet TV has truly arrived, says the LA Times this morning. Netflix’s “House of Cards” garnered 14 Emmy nominations yesterday, making it clear that the company’s “original-content strategy has won validation from the company’s traditional-media peers.” The strategy has been paired with a decision to become more “discerning” about the shows it does air and not being afraid to drop those that aren’t performing. In addition to the “House of Cards” sweep, Jason Bateman got a nod for his role in Netflix’s re-boot of fan-favorite “Arrested Development.”
