BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — After 25 years, Netflix is shutting down its in-home DVD rental service.
It all started back in 1998 when Netflix shipped its very first disc, Beetlejuice.
But now, due to what the company calls ‘shrinking demand,’ it is ending its DVD delivery service in September.
Industry experts say Netflix is recovering from a disastrous 2022 financially, while the company’s subscriber growth rate has been modest.
The decision to cut its DVD by-mail unit could help Netflix save money.
WBZ’s Chris Fama talked to some local home video fans about the Netflix decision.
