We have some new updates about PlayStation Vue to share with you today. First, we’re happy to announce the addition of new channels to PlayStation Vue, including BBC America and NBA TV launching tomorrow, as well as VICE and more local broadcast stations from CBS and Fox coming soon.
Additionally, starting at 12:01am Eastern Time on November 11, all Viacom-owned networks will no longer be available on PlayStation Vue. This includes channels such as Comedy Central, Spike, and MTV. At PlayStation, we always strive to provide the best value and service for our fans. As part of our ongoing evaluation of the PlayStation Vue offering, we have determined that removing the bundle of channels from Viacom is the best way for us to continue to offer the most compelling value to our fans.
It’s been quite a busy year for us since launching ESPN, ABC and other Disney-owned networks; we have expanded the service nationwide, added highly requested channels such as NFL Network and HBO, and introduced new PS Vue enabled devices such as Roku, Android TV and web support for PC and Mac. As demonstrated by the new channels announced today, we will continue to expand the PlayStation Vue service by adding devices and networks that are highly requested by our fans.
PlayStation Vue subscribers will continue to enjoy the popular features that make the service unique, such as simultaneous streaming and cloud-based DVR. We are continuing to add value and flexibility with multiple plan options to choose from, as well as a la carte options such as recent additions of HBO and Cinemax.
Remember that there is no long-term commitment required for any PlayStation Vue plan. You can visit www.psvue.com for more information.
We want to thank all of you for your continued support, and we look forward to all that’s ahead.
I’ve been nothing but ecstatic about your service, to finally be able to get superior IP based TV with no contract and even gotten a few of my friends make the switch from cable. I would like to continue doing business with Sony rather than the big cable company monopolies but to cut out Viacom content w/o even offering it as an ancillary package like the movie channels is just crazy. Comedy Central is one of the few channels I consistently watch, I’d be happy w/ 20 channels I chose to be honest and CC is on my top 3 and certainly a deal breaker to not have. Please put it back in the lineup, create a new package with it, offer it as an add-in package or I’ll have to start shopping around for another service. Google’s new service is looking quite promising right about now.
BTW your main page is still showing all the Viacom channels which is very misleading and borderline dishonest to unwary new customers
Losing Comedy Central is a deal breaker with me. It’s too bad. I really enjoyed your service.
I’ve been a subscriber since the nation wide launch, this will be my last month, if I wanted local channels I’d hook up an antenna, if I wanted sports I’d go to a bar
Give me an option to pay for these channels, Reduce the rate to make up for the 9% of channel loss. Give me a pro rated refund to reflect my channel loss.
YOU ARE SMARTER THAN THE CEO
