In-Season Stacking Rights

A TV network is said to have in-season tacking rights when it obtains the right to stream all episodes of a series’ current season on its digital platforms. It’s common for TV nets to make only a “rolling five” available – i.e., the five most recent episodes. But in an effort to compete with the likes of Netflix, many networks have begun pushing harder for in-season stacking rights. Earlier this year, NBC Chairman Bob Greenblatt went so far as to say that stacking “is the future of our business.”
