TV Everywhere from Time Warner, Comcast
Time Warner and Comcast teamed up on an initiative that will allow the latter’s cable subscribers to gain access to Turner Broadcasting System programming online and on-demand free-of-charge. Content from TNT and TBS will be part of the two companies’ “TV Everywhere” model.
Comcast also announced that it will launch a national technical trial of its On Demand Online service in July, also carrying fare from the two Turner networks.
The two companies said TV Everywhere is open and nonexclusive, meaning that cable, satellite or telco video distributors can enter into similar agreements with other programmers.
But TV Everywhere is not without its critics, as GigaOm senior writer Om Malik pointed out that TV Everywhere content is not exempt from the 250-gigabit-per-month bandwidth quota Comcast imposed on its high-speed-Internet customers.
