60% of netflix streams are TV

Netflix Sarandos revealed that up to 60% of the filmed content viewed on his site is television programming and that shows such as Mad Men are top of the popularity poll. As a result, his company has started to buy series directly from the producers and distributors who financed them: cutting out the TV networks and cable channels. It now plans to make these shows available as early as possible, during what is known as "the first-run window".

But networks commission these projects; without that, would they ever get made in the first place?
