NBC pushes live streaming to PCs

The new service on NBC.com will flow the network's shows live on computers. The service, however, is available only to those who can prove they have a pay-TV subscription, so this isn't an outright freebie. NBC says that streaming to mobile devices will be available in early 2015. [...] For now, NBC is offering its live-stream on all 10 NBC-owned stations. The company is also working with local affiliates to get into the mix. In addition, the new service includes on-demand programming from a NBCUniversal-owned stations, such as BRAVO and USA (channel). NBC "fully supports" the concept of "TV Everywhere" and giving "viewers access to more programming across more platforms than we have ever been able to make available online before," an NBC spokeswoman said in a statement. She added that NBC plans to spread the initiative across its brands in the coming year. - Don Reisinger,CNET [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
