For the 1st time Ever, a major Broadcaster will show LIVE Local TV(at least in the NYC/Philly Areas 1st)! Starting this week, ABC plans on having a ‘Live’ Button in their App, allowing users to Live stream local Programming, which typically took a week or more to get content through the App(even the Web)…But there’s a catch! Hit the Jump.
Apparently, the 1st 6 weeks of this endeavor, is 1000% FREE, But of course Greedy networks see an opportunity, it will only Stay Free ONLY to PAYING Cable Customers….I got rid of Cable a while ago.
Here’s a statement:
ABC, a unit of the Walt Disney Company, said the live stream would be available in the other six cities where it owns stations sometime this summer. It is also in talks with the companies that own ABC’s more than 200 affiliates to make the “live” button work in their markets.
This is the beginning of networks moving completely over to the web…But no all at once because Not every show is approved. Listen, if the networks figure out that paid thing isn’t gonna work, this COULD be good for them, OR drive everyone over to Netflix/Hulu Plus 0_o
Also, Android TBA
