NBC News Unveils Ad-Free Streaming: Access ‘Dateline,’ ‘Today,’ and Podcasts
NBC News, under the leadership of executive Cesar Conde, has launched a comprehensive suite of streaming services. This new offering will allow news enthusiasts to access popular programs like “Today” and “Dateline” from a single platform.
NBC News Streaming Service Details
The recently announced service consolidates all NBC News content, including linear show episodes, podcasts, and existing streams. Subscribers will also gain access to:
- Exclusive reports
- Live channels from NBC-owned local stations
- Telemundo content
- Sky news coverage
- NBC Sports programming
- NBC News Now for live-breaking news coverage
Subscription Features and Pricing
While specifics regarding the service’s name and pricing remain undisclosed, it has been previously hinted at in reports by Axios. Company executives plan to provide staff with more information later this week.
Competitive Landscape
This launch comes at a time when NBC News faces increased competition from networks like CNN. CNN, part of Warner Bros. Discovery, is investing in subscription-based digital products that provide on-demand access to their flagship cable network and curated news coverage.
Targeting a Digital Audience
The new NBC News streaming service aims to cater to a digital-savvy audience that prefers news on the go, often through social media or digital video platforms. The initiative is designed to focus on vertical video formats, which are increasingly popular among consumers.
Executives believe that this new service will not detract from existing audiences for other NBC News products. These include the “Dateline” FAST channel and a curated “Today” streaming option.
