Time Warner and Comcast Bring Cable Content to the Web for Paid Subscribers


June 24th, 2009 by Jeffrey L. Wilson  

timewarnercable_logo_1 Today, Time Warner announced that it has partnered with Comcast to develop a “TV Everywhere” model, which will  bring “their best and highest-rated programming” online, which  would be viewable for viewing on the Web – - but only for cable subscribers. Comcast announced that it will begin national trials of its “On Demand Online” service next month, which will deliver TBS and TNT programming (such as The Closer and My Boys) to Comcast.net, Fancast.com, and of course, TBS.com and TNT.tv. This initial trial will serve as test-run for the “TV Everywhere” authentication technology, and an opportunity to gather feedback from approximately 5,000 customers . Could this be tied into the  recent rumblings about Hulu adding a subscription service? After all, one can find cable content there, such as The Colbert Report, and The Daily Show. We’ll be delving into this mystery for additional information.
