The NBCUniversal parent with its low-end Spanish-language TV offering is building on technology developed for Sky’s Now TV platform, which is billed as a cheaper version of Sky’s other higher-end streaming packages. Earlier, Comcast launched Now TV as a lower-cost $20 a-month streaming video product as it packages linear TV, FAST and subscription video-on-demand channels in the U.S. market.
“As we continue our focus on providing unique experiences, differentiated products and bring value to Hispanic consumers, Now TV Latino provides great Spanish-language and English-language content at an affordable price for Hispanic viewers with a wide variety of tastes and interests, with no fees or contracts,” José Velez Silva, vp of multicultural strategy, operations & community engagement at Comcast, said in a statement on Monday.
The cable and broadband giant is also packaging Now TV Latino and Xfinity StreamSaver for $25 per month, and Now TV Latino and the wider Now TV offering for $30/month. In addition, Now TV Latino can be paired with Now StreamSaver for $40 per month, which includes over 40 streaming channels and Apple TV+ and Netflix Standard with commercials.
Now TV is the latest product from Comcast as video TV continues to go online amid fast-growing streaming competition for traditional media players and consumers increasingly cutting the cord for traditional cable TV packages.
