Netflix (NFLX, $262.80) Welcomes Former ABC Exec to Beef Up Original Content

Channing Dungey, ABC Entertainment’s President of three years, will join Netflix.

Dungey stepped down last month from her position at ABC. She will join streaming giant Netflix in February as Vice President of original content. Dungey will work with Netflix's other VP of original content Cindy Holland on "setting strategic direction" for original content. That would include overseeing deals with longtime collaborators Shonda Rhimes and Kenya Barris who created hit shows for ABC.

Dungey is joining Netflix at a time when competition among online video streamers seems to be heating up, with some traditional broadcast players also expanding their own digital content. ABC’s parent company Disney is set to launch its own streaming platform Disney+ next year. Netflix announced last year of its plans to spend as much as $8 billion on content for 2018.

"Channing is a creative force whose taste and talent have earned her the admiration of her peers across the industry. She's a risk taker and ground-breaker and talent love working with her," Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, said in a statement.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

4 Ways to Save for Retirement Without a 401(k)

401(k) plans are attractive savings options for good reasons: tax breaks, potential employer matching, and access to growth investments.Roth IRA contributions are made in after-tax dollars, and withdrawals for account owners age 59 ½ or older are tax free (if the account is at least five years old). Investors with an individual adjusted gross income below $32,000 can even claim between 10 and 50 percent of contributions as a saver’s tax credit.
