Spectrum has a streaming service that’s basically its cable package for $15 a month

Posted on by Leave a comment

The “streaming service” of sorts is called Spectrum TV Essentials and it includes popular cable networks like the The Weather Channel, Food Network, Nickelodeon, and MTV. Unlike other streaming services that offer individual movies and shows, TV Essentials basically takes a few dozen of Spectrum’s channels and offers them to its internet subscribers. These are the channels the cable company offers already in its standard packages, albeit for much higher price tags. In fact, it’s so familiar that it sounds like the a la carte plan that Spectrum’s sales representatives offered quietly to customers in 2018 to lure them back to cable. – Shannon Liao, The Verge » https://ift.tt/2IrTAcz

Loop acquires ScreenPlay to build its streaming library

Posted on by Leave a comment

While you may not have heard of ScreenPlay, the company has licensed a library of 200,000 music videos and movie/game/TV trailers, which it broadcasts in thousands of venues for partners like Hard Rock Cafe, Norwegian Cruise Line, Yard House, Buffalo Wild Wings and Caesars Entertainment. This announcement comes just a week after Loop TV officially came out of stealth — and in fact, co-founder and CEO Jon Niermann (previously an executive at EA – Electronic Arts and Disney) said he’s always seen ScreenPlay’s content library as the foundation for Loop’s business. – Anthony Ha, TechCrunch » https://tcrn.ch/2BNpcU4

The Haunting of Hill House Is Getting a New Spooky Name For Season Two

Posted on by Leave a comment

The decision to move on to a new story line that essentially makes Haunting an anthology is something the two creators strongly telegraphed in interviews last year. “As far as I’ve ever been concerned with this, the story of the Crain family is told. It’s done,” Flanagan told EW in October. What this means for the actors involved in season one is unclear. It’s possible that Macy and Flanagan could fill some of the new roles with cast members from the first installment of the show, à la Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Storyanthology, though there’s been zero indication that’s being considered. – Josef Adalian, Vulture » https://ift.tt/2T55ZY6
