Netflix ends DVD-by-mail service: Wednesday, April 29

Netflix is poised to end its once revolutionary DVD-by-mail service that set the stage for the streaming platform to become the name brand for entertainment in the 21st century. The DVD service, which still delivers movies and TV shows to customers in red-and-white envelopes, plans to mail its final discs on Sept. 29. Netflix ended March with 232.5 million worldwide subscribers to its video streaming service, but it stopped disclosing how many people still pay for DVD-by-mail delivery years ago as that part of its business steadily shrank. The DVD service generated $145.7 million in revenue last year, which translated into somewhere between 1.1 million and 1.3 million subscribers, based on the average prices paid by customers.

Researchers say air pollution is targeting communities of color nationwide. A new report from the American Lung Association says despite decades of progress, people of color are nearly four times more likely than white people to live in a county with high pollution counts. The Charlotte metro continues to be among the areas with the lowest air quality, coming in at No. 2 for the Southeast.
