Netflix would have been paying too much for the soap opera
According to the Ecuadorian journalist Carlos Ochoa, Netflix would have gotten tired of paying exorbitant amounts of money to the RCN channel, owner of the rights to “I am Betty the Ugly one”.
“The first is that Netflix has said ‘no more, I’m tired of giving millions and millions to RCN for a single product'”, Ochoa stated.
Another platform would have obtained its rights
Ochoa also indicates that a second option for the output of “I am Bett, the ugly one” from Netflix, is that another streaming platform has offered RCN a larger amount of money for the broadcast rights.
“The other is that another platform has told the channel that it pays them an even higher figure to offer it among its contents,” said the communicator.
Netflix would not have reached an agreement with the transmission license
The Netflix help center is in charge of obtaining all the licenses for the movies and series on the platform, trying to keep the titles of the most lucrative productions. However, many times the productions end up being removed from the catalog due to licensing agreements.
