NETWORKS SIGN ON TO SONY TV

摘要

Momentum is growing for Sony's planned web-based TV service, which could challenge today's cable and satellite giants for subscribers. Viacom announced last week that it would provide Sony with 22 networks, including MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central, to stream to customers over the internet. Walt Disney Co. and 21st Century Fox are also in discussions to offer their programming through Sony, and The New York Times reported that Discovery, Time Warner and Starz are on the same path, suggesting that Sony may wind up winning the race to offer millennials an alternative way to watch major TV networks.
