According to Nikki Finke’s Deadline, Starz will not longer provide content to Netflix when the current arrangement expires toward the end of February of next year.

This can be nothing but terrible news for Netflix management because Starz provides a significant amount of content, particularly movies, though there are TV shows as well.

Viewers too don’t make out very well either, because, despite the recent price increase, there will be fewer titles available for instant viewing.

Personally, even without Starz, I think that Netflix is a better value than Hulu, though obviously a little less so when the current deal expires.
