Going to India: Netflix declined to comment on its plans but industry executives told Reuters they expect an India announcement as early as this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

US networks are changing the way they develop and release new shows, and even commercials, as they seek to adapt to new TV viewing habits and profit from the "binge-watching" made popular by video streaming services like Netflix. 

The changes could help offset declining audiences and the trend known as "cord cutting," as a growing number of Americans opt to go without traditional cable or satellite television service and rely instead on Internet streaming video.
