One of the companies that are creating a great challenge for Netflix is Hulu Plus. Like Netflix, Hulu Plus specializes in providing entertainment content for its subscribers on the internet. There is one main source of Hulu Plus’ ability to mount such a challenge to Netflix. Sherman & Waterman (2016) reveal that the company has a close relationship with famous television programs and film production companies like Twentieth Century Fox and Walt Disney. These relationships make it easier for Hulu Plus to acquire content to air to its customers as compared to Netflix.

From 1704 when the first newspaper advertisement was announced, it gradually grows into a major force in American society based primarily on newspapers and magazines (Ad Age Advertising Century, 1999). It not only helps to raise the target demographics’ awareness of issues, but also educate consumers with the benefits of the product. However, advertising cannot target a particular person before the emerging of World Wide Web.

Unfortunately, the competition has caught up and networks such as CNN and Lifetime have begun to offer competitive programs and thus competitive advertising outlets for the target audience. As a result, advertising sales is projecting a 10% decrease in the price for a unit of advertising (CPM) if the current strategy does not change. An internal weakness of TFC is that it does not know its customers intimately; as stated in the case “the channel didn’t have much in the way of detailed information about its viewers” (Stahl, 2007). Without this information TFC is unable to compete effectively against other networks who do know the target audience and their attributes and trends. If TFC is unable to maintain or increase its overall satisfaction ratings, they might face the possibility of being dropped by a network and lose a second source of revenue, affiliate fees.
