Comcast has unveiled its latest video offering, Xfinity Sports & News TV, designed specifically for Xfinity Internet subscribers. This package cleverly combines live news and top-tier sporting events into one convenient bundle.
Xfinity Sports & News TV boasts a robust lineup of over 50 broadcast, cable news and sports channels. Subscribers gain access to a Peacock subscription, providing a vast library of streaming content. The package also includes 300 hours of cloud DVR storage, ensuring viewers never miss a moment. Furthermore, users enjoy seamless integration with 100+ free streaming channels, readily accessible within the channel guide and browsing experience.
The package's comprehensive channel selection includes all local broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Telemundo, and Univision), major national news channels (CNBC, CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC), and a wide array of sports channels offering live coverage of college and professional sports (ACC Network, Big Ten Network, ESPN, FS1, GOLF Channel, and SEC Network). Peacock's extensive content offering, featuring original series and over 8,000 hours of live sports including NFL football, Premier League soccer, WWE, and the soon-to-be-added NBA basketball, further enhances the package's appeal.
“With Sports & News TV, we’ve brought together top networks for live sports and news and Peacock, the best streaming service for sports fans, to create a new video bundle packed with the best content at an unbeatable price, all accessible within a premium viewing experience that makes it easy for customers to find the content they care about most,” stated John Dixon, Senior Vice President, Entertainment, Comcast. “Sports & News TV is a terrific option for customers looking for a great value in entertainment without sacrificing their favourite live sports and news channels.”
This announcement follows closely on the heels of the recent failure of the Venu project, which aimed to consolidate sporting assets from Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery.
