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 started looking for other alternative as I removed Xfinity but sony removed Nick channels .. Bye bye Vue will cancel it
Bunch of crap. I really loved my PlayStation vue service until you guys had to delete the main channels me and my son watched. Going to sling tv now. PlayStation, you guys suck!
I would like to see the History channel added to the Elite line up.
I really don’t see why this is such a big deal. Props to Sony for standing up to Viacom. The only show I’ll miss is South Park. But if I want to watch the new season I’ll just go on Amazon Video and watch it that way. Still cheaper than cable. Vue is perfect for people that don’t mind not having perfect structure and are willing to be resourceful.
Yeah I’m out if I lose Comedy Central, I’m switching to Sling TV which is cheaper anyways and I still get all the important channels, glad I didn’t end up selling my Xbox One, I switched to game with friends. This is a complete load of crap, lower the price now if you want to keep customers that’s one channel I consider a must, I got rid of my cable for this so dropping this and not going back, I also got the experience of yelling at my TV and scrambling to catch any of the Walking Dead premier, ruined it for me.
No Spike? Nickelodeon? Comedy Central?
No deal.
I just got done with the free trial and they got the money for the next months service, Comedy Central was one of the main reasons I subscribed to Vue.
This is not good, I like my South Park!!
This is going to force me to unsubscribe to Vue and look for another service.
Both my kids watch nick and nickjr, one unhappy girl yesterdayand today when she could not get her teletubbies! PSVue was one of the only offerings of these live channels. So perhaps over a viacom package upgrade $5 no different than cable companies. BBCAmerica is enough to warrant another 5 buck imo with nick/nickr/cc
Time to look at sling tv, service is no longer worth it… Majority of the stuff I watch is thru the Viacom channels.
Had SLING TV and P.S. Vue together in order to get all channels, but after this b.s. I just cut Sony loose today. I don’t really care whose fault it is. I just upgraded my service with Sling TV. Unfortunately, no DVR with Sling just yet, but I can live with it. Sony can stick it.
No Sony! my kids love Nic Jr, the new channels doesn’t make this Vue service worth it any more.
I how have a very very unhappy little girl. All of her favorite shows are on Nick Jr and Nickelodeon and now we no longer can watch those stations. Her favorite shows are Paw Patrol, Shimmer and Shine, and Bubble Guppies but now they are no longer there for her to watch and learn from.
Very unhappy watcher here. Please bring these stations back.
I would rather have Viacom channels than, ESPN, NBA TV (I don’t watch either of those) and network channels. I have network on demand free thru Roku and thanks to my $35 antenna I bought on Amazon I have like 56 over the air channels for FREE anyway. I have unsubscribed to Vue and will be going back to Sling (which is cheaper) unless you get those channels back.
I cut my cable two months ago, because I was paying to much for a bunch of channels we weren’t even watching. Now, Sony turns around and adds channels we will never watch and takes away the channels that we watch every day.
Shame on you, Sony!
It’s time to find another alternative.
I noticed the removed channels from psvue. I’m highly disappointed Viacom channels are being removed: I switched to psvue and bought two Roku’s. I guess I’ll have to watch the content on PC. I know network deals come and go, but really?! You are removing Spike tv near Thanksgiving! Thanks, now I’ll be missing workaholics, cops, James Bond marathons and Teen Mom for the lady. Oh well, sh*+ happens….
I am ****ed my kids watch Nickelodeon all the time that was a selling point for us we may cancel and find something else comedy Central and spike TV we another big one too
As long as Disney Junior stays.. sucks because I can’t watch Cops or Impractical Jokers though. However it seems that PlayStation Vue has an issue connecting to my internet and the shows stop constantly. My wife just had a 20 minute fight with the playstation to get disney jr to play for the kids. We just started the October 24th and were already frustrated. Worth the money but not worth cranky kids who cant watch Mickey Mouse or Little Einstein’s
No kidding cops and King of queens is all I watch.
Same here
