NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Netflix (NFLX) - Get Report were lower in late morning trading on Tuesday, after Scripps Network (SNI) turned down the chance to renew its partnership deal with the online streaming service. The partnership will conclude at the end of 2016.

"We assessed and analyzed the S-VOD [streaming video-on-demand] universe and have made the strategic decision not to extend our S-VOD agreement with Netflix past the end of this year," Scripps Network COO Burton Jablin said in a conference call on Monday. "In the end, it is really not the kind of dual revenue model that best monetizes our content over the long-term."

The parent company of HGTV, Food Network, the Cooking Channel and the Travel Channel is saying it can't make money off of the service, Fox Business' Liz Claman explained on Tuesday morning's "Varney & Company." Scripps Network saw its distribution revenue drop.

"That's a big blow, I think, to Netflix to have somebody say, 'Nope, we're not signing up with you anymore,'" she claimed.

Shares of Scripps Network were higher in late morning trading on Tuesday.
