In an emailed statement to Bloomberg, a spokesperson for Netflix commented that the company is pleased with the "successful launch" of its ad-supported service tier. The comment to the news service follows an earlier report from Digiday’s Tim Peterson that cited sources who said Netflix is missing ad-supported viewership guarantees made to advertisers and allowing them to take their money back for ads that have not yet run. In afternoon trading, Netflix shares have fallen $27.58, or nearly 9%, to $290.25.
