Netflix Subscribers Rise to Nearly 140m
The streaming firm gained 8.8 million customers in the three months to 21st December.
Netflix finished the year with more than 139 million paid subscribers, almost tripling its membership base in just five years. But the latest results haven't played well on Wall Street as we hear from Jonathan Swartz, senior writer at Barrons financial investment in New York. Also in the programme, almost four weeks into the partial US government shutdown, our regular economic commentator Diane Brady discusses the growing economic impact. We have a report from China looking at how the government is managing an economic slowdown. Plus we meet the founders of Japanese firm Exit, which provides resignation letters and phone calls for people too afraid to resign in person.
