Comcast and Time Warner Announce Long-Term TV Everywhere Agreement For Xfinity Customers
Comcast and Time Warner today announced they have signed a long-term agreement that provides Comcast digital cable customers with access to an unprecedented amount of top-rated shows and movies from Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. networks, including TNT, TBS, CNN, HLN, truTV, Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. The content will appear shortly after initial airing at no additional cost to Comcasts customers on xfinityTV.com, Comcasts On Demand service, applicable Turner Web Sites and Xfinity and Turner branded iPad, iPhone and Android-based tablet and phone applications with plans for live streaming later this year.
When we first announced the TV Everywhere initiative with Comcast and Brian Roberts 18 months ago, it was an untested idea facing technical doubts and competitive pressuresbut already more than 50 million consumers can experience some form of it from a wide range of content providers and distributors, said Jeffrey Bewkes, Chairman and CEO of Time Warner Inc. This landmark agreement between Turner and Comcast, along with our separate recent deal between Comcast and HBO, really solidifies our partnership in this effort and really pushes forward the concept of giving consumers more access to quality on-demand content on any device they choose.
