Comcast subscribers will get access to "hundreds" of hours of Time
Warner Inc.'s Turner Broadcasting System movies and TV shows, both
online and on cable video-on-demand, under an expanded, multiyear TV
Everywhere deal -- including, later this year, live streaming over the
Internet.
Specific terms of the deal were not disclosed. The TV
Everywhere distribution rights are included as part of a broader
agreement reached between Comcast and Turner, the companies said.
The
agreement covers shows and movies from Turner networks, including TNT,
TBS, CNN, HLN, truTV, Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network and Adult
Swim. Comcast also plans to offer live streaming of Turner channels
later this year, though details on this front are still sketchy.
The deal builds on the agreement Comcast and Time Warner reached in mid-2009 to collaborate on the industry's first national "TV Everywhere" trial.
