| 11:05 EDT | | VIA | Netflix, DreamWorks climb after announcing major content deal
Netflix (NFLX) and DreamWorks (DWA) are both surging after Netflix agreed to buy new TV series from DreamWorks. WHAT'S NEW: Netflix will buy new TV series from DreamWorks under a multi-year deal, the two companies announced earlier today. The series will be based on characters created by DreamWorks. The latter company's more popular children's movies include Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. The companies did not divulge the terms of the deal, but noted that the "agreement marks the largest deal for original first-run content in Netflix's history," and that DreamWorks will provide over 300 hours of content to Netflix under the agreement. Netflix is expected to begin broadcasting DreamWorks' content next year. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In mid-morning trading, Netflix rose 5.75% to $225, while DreamWorks climbed 4.5% to $23.85. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Netflix recently decided not to renew its deal with Viacom (VIA), from whom it had obtained children's programming? |

| 07:15 EDT | | VZ | NSA data not collected directly from Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, WSJ says
Because of their foreign ownership ties, Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) and T-Mobile USA (TMUS, DTEGY) do not have data on their calls collected directly by the National Security Agency, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. The Journal's sources said the other two nationwide carriers, AT&T (T) and Sprint (S), have long cooperated with the government and officials believe they can still capture information on 99% of U.S. phone traffic because nearly all calls eventually travel over the networks owned by other cooperating companies.
