The streaming singularity has arrived, as the largest video service is making a show about the largest audio service.<\/p>\n
Netflix Inc. will run a limited series about the rise of Spotify Technology SA. The yet-untitled show is inspired by the book \u201cSpotify Untold,\u201d written by two Swedish business reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe founding tale of Spotify is a great example of how a local story can have a global impact,\u201d Tesha Crawford, Netflix\u2019s director of international originals for northern Europe, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Los Gatos, California-based Netflix said the series will depict how Daniel Ek, now Spotify\u2019s chief executive officer, and his partner Martin Lorentzon started the Stockholm-based audio service and thrived by offering legal streamed music in the face of then-rampant song piracy.<\/p>\n
Spotify, founded in 2006, now has more than 113 million paying subscribers worldwide. Netflix, which got its start in 1997 as a DVD-by-mail service, has more than 158 million subscribers.<\/p>\n
The Spotify series will be in both Swedish and English and will be produced by Yellow Bird\u00a0UK<\/span>, the company behind another forthcoming Netflix series, \u201cYoung Wallander.\u201d Netflix didn\u2019t provide a premiere date.<\/p>\n The streaming singularity has arrived, as the largest video service is making a show about the largest audio service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341034,"featured_media":234062,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[2054,7927],"class_list":["post-332448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-broadcasting","tag-netflix","tag-spotify"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341034"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read: Vodacom vs MTN \u2013 Customer satisfaction rankings<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
