Netflix Announces Agreement With Disney-ABC Television Group to Stream Several
Hit ABC Series
Select Prior Seasons of 'Lost,' 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Desperate Housewives'
Will be Available from Netflix to Watch Instantly on Computers and TVs

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Netflix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX),
the world's largest online movie rental service, today announced an agreement
with Disney-ABC Television Group that will make several of ABC's most popular
TV series available to be streamed instantly from Netflix.

In its entirety, the deal will allow Netflix members to instantly watch the
first five seasons of the hit ABC franchise "Lost," seasons four and five of
the pop culture phenomenon "Desperate Housewives," season five of the
critically acclaimed "Grey's Anatomy," and seasons one and two of the
syndicated epic action-adventure fantasy series "Legend of the Seeker" from
ABC Studios. Many of the episodes, including the first four seasons of
"Lost," will be available from Netflix beginning August 1. The remainder will
be available in subsequent months, beginning in September.

Overall, the agreement extends the online relationship between Netflix and
Disney-ABC Television Group, which announced their first digital licensing
deal last September. That agreement centered on original series from Disney
Channel, including the hits "Hannah Montana," "Wizards of Waverly Place," "The
Suite Life on Deck," and Disney Channel's two newest original series, "JONAS"
and "Sonny with a Chance." That deal, which will continue, makes episodes
available day-after-broadcast.

The new agreement, which was brokered by Disney-ABC Domestic Television, adds
top broadcast properties to a growing library of more than 12,000 movies and
TV episodes that Netflix members can watch instantly on their computers and
TVs as part of their membership at no additional monthly cost.

"We're excited about this new agreement since it builds on a strong foundation
with Disney-ABC Television Group," said Robert Kyncl, vice president of
content acquisition for Netflix. "In all, we're providing Netflix members
with some of the most popular and avidly followed shows on TV while working
with an important business partner to help grow several of its key
franchises."

As Netflix continues to expand the movies and TV episodes that its members can
watch instantly, the company is also partnering with leaders in consumer
electronics to bring to market a growing number of network devices that can
instantly stream movies and TV episodes from Netflix directly to members' TVs.
Those devices include Blu-ray disc players and new Internet TVs from LG
Electronics; Blu-ray disc players from Samsung; the Roku digital video player;
Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console; TiVo digital video recorders; and, soon,
Internet TVs from Sony and VIZIO.
