For those of you who don't know Sling tv is an app on (Xbox, Roku etc) that for 19.99 a month
lets you watch live tv of (HBO, AMC, TNT, Abc Family Cartoon Network and more)
It has caused a major disruption in the cable industry and COMCAST is scared.
Sling CEO Roger Lynch tells us that NBC refused to run ads for Sling TV.
The company, which is owned by Dish, offers an over-the-top television streaming service that gives subscribers access to live cable channels. Sling says that its target demographic are millennials who are often wary of signing lengthy and expensive cable contracts.
This move to block the commercials struck Lynch as purely political. NBCUniversal's owned Comcast has historically viewed over-the-top products like Sling as direct competition to their cable packages. It even tried to launch its own similar streaming service earlier this month.
