Same
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
NBC'S streaming service will be free, unlike CBS' or others
Kbity
nope
Kbity
it's only free if you're already subscribing to a cable service
Kbity
which, who still has cable?
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
They specifically said it's free to everyone.
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
It's going to be ad-supported.
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
I think the free-to-cable might be outside US, idk. But after an article on variety came out, they corrected that unless plans change, it'll be free-to-all
Kbity
maybe I got bad intel.
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
well, variety did at one point!
Kbity
here we go: 
NBC finally jumps in the streaming wars — announces ...
Kbity
granted, that's from january, so maybe things have changed
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
I mean, I had heard about it in may, so idk!
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
though 12.00 isn't too bad, I suppose. But you'd want to pick and choose the various streams you have
Kbity
"Comcast’s NBCUniversal plans to debut a free, ad-supported streaming service to anyone that subscribes to a traditional pay-TV service, including competitors such as Charter, AT&T, Cox and Dish, in the first quarter of 2020, the company announced Monday...
Kbity
For those that don’t subscribe to a pay-TV service, the streaming product, which will include 1,500 hours of NBC TV shows, such as SNL and Parks and Recreation, and hundreds of hours of Universal movies, will cost somewhere around $12 a month, a person familiar with the company’s plans told CNBC. "
Kbity
but yeah, if it's changed, that'd be nice
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
yy
Kbity
but man, idk if there's anything on nbc that's worth paying $12/mo for
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
though I do in fact have cable, bc you can't get internet here without it, so there's that
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
the good place and brooklyn 99 I guess
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
not sure what movies count as "Universal" movies
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
the various Jurassic Worlds, Jordan Peeles and Fast and Furiouses, I know for sure
Kbity
plus, universal does pump out a lot of tv shows that aren't aired on its network
Kbity
iirc, Universal also produced like, House MD and Game of Thrones
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
I believe so yeah
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
so yeah, there'll be a ton of shows that aren't on nbc
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
Also, they'll be opening up the archives
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
so it'll be shows from the 50s on up
𝔖𝔫𝔦𝔥𝔲𝔯ó𝔫𝔨𝔞
finally I will get to know what the hell Tales of Wells Fargo is.
Cptn Old Spice
WOOOO
Kbity
that's kinda cool. NBC/Universal has a huge library from the past to call on if it wants to. it'd be neat to see that stuff brought forward
