Sony announces Playstation Vue
Quote:
Sony on Thursday unveiled its long-teased online TV service, known as PlayStation Vue, which will kick off with around 75 channels for each market with TV shows, movies and other programs from major networks and local stations -- all without a cable or satellite subscription.
During the initial test rollout, viewers will be able to tune into channels from six media conglomerates: CBS, Fox, NBCUniversal, Discovery Communications, Scripps Networks and Viacom. The 75 channels will include paid-TV stalwarts such as Animal Planet, National Geographic, Oxygen, Sprout, Syfy, HGTV, Food Network, Travel Channel, Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon. (Editors' note: CNET is owned by CBS.)
PlayStation Vue marks the first multi-channel television service that runs over the Internet and bypasses the traditional cable and satellite TV providers. For Sony, Vue is the company's attempt to dominate the living room beyond video games, turning its PlayStation console into a hub for the home. The online service could potentially be a boon to cord-cutters -- consumers who eschew traditional paid-TV for a broadband connection and a collection of online video services -- although the price of Sony's service will be a key factor.
Its commercial launch is set for the first quarter of 2015.
