Netflix Inc. continues to grow its Web of partners to facilitate the viewing of content online. While the company makes its money delivering DVDs, it has been building its video-streaming business that allows subscribers to download and view movies and television programs on their computers or mobile devices.

Netflix on Tuesday announced it had signed deals with CBS Corp. and Walt Disney Co. to boost its library of online content. The deals will allow Netflix users to download shows including "Hannah Montana" and "CSI" a day after they air on television and to view them commercial-free.

Earlier this month, Netflix signed partnerships with a handful of technology companies that will embed Netflix download software in their consoles and players. - Suzanne Stevens
