Nine Entertainment Company plans to launch a subscription video-on-demand service, potentially before the end of 2014. At one stage it appeared that Nine and arch-rival Seven West Media could have jointly developed the StreamCo product, and this may still be a possibility. StreamCo’s main competitor is likely to be US-based Netflix, which is expected to debut in Australia in 2015. Nine has also bought redeemable preference shares in Quickflix
