LOS GATOS, Calif., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Netflix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX), the world's leading online movie rental service, today announced separate agreements with the CBS Television Network and Disney-ABC Television Group that will allow current season episodes of a number of today's most popular TV shows to be streamed at Netflix. The two deals add meaningfully to a growing library of 12,000 choices that Netflix members can watch instantly on their PCs and TVs as part of their existing subscription plans and without impacting the number of DVDs they receive.

The CBS deal brings to Netflix the global phenomenon 'CSI.'

The CBS agreement includes two additional current hit shows, 'NCIS,' which dramatizes the Naval Criminal Investigative Service of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps, and the FBI drama 'Numb3rs,' from producers Ridley and Tony Scott. 'NCIS' returns for its sixth season this week and 'Numb3rs' is back for a fifth season in October.

The agreement for Disney Channel content centers on three of the Channel's original series -- 'Hannah Montana,' 'Wizards of Waverly Place,' and Disney Channel's newest original series, 'The Suite Life on Deck,' a spin-off of the hit, Emmy-nominated 'The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,' starring fan favorites Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Brenda Song and Phill Lewis and introducing Debbie Ryan. The series premieres Friday, September 26. 'Wizards of Waverly Place' and 'The Suite Life on Deck' can be streamed instantly at Netflix beginning this week, 24 hours after each episode's initial broadcast. Disney Channel's smash hit comedy series 'Hannah Montana,' starring multi-talented Miley Cyrus, will be available online at Netflix beginning this November.
