Canadian Netflix users will see a new membership option starting Tuesday that costs less but comes with a catch: commercial breaks inserted into their favourite shows.
Of the newcomers, Pluto TV debuts on Dec. 1 with more than 100 channels of free TV series, movies and sports that stream “live” online on a platform that mimics the experience of channel surfing, complete with the commercials.
