Time Warner Cable Sets Online Trials

NEW YORK: Programming from a range of broadcast and cable networks, including CBS, Syfy, BBC America and Discovery, will be accessible online to select Time Warner Cable customers as part of the TV Everywhere trial announced by the platform.

Time Warner Cable customers who subscribe to a video package containing the networks involved in the trial will have online access, at no additional charge, to a wide variety of content from participating programmers. They include TBS, TNT, HBO, CBS, Syfy, BBC America, AMC, WE tv, IFC, Sundance Channel, Discovery Communications and Smithsonian Channel. The content will be accessible on the networks’ websites and on Time Warner Cable’s web properties. 

“TV Everywhere is an all-around win for those of us who love television," said Glenn Britt, Time Warner Cable’s chairman, president and CEO. "It will give our customers more control over content and allow them greater access to programs they are already paying for, while enhancing the distributors’ and networks’ robust business model that encourages the creation of great content.”

The TV Everywhere trials will roll out in select markets over the next few months, reaching approximately 5,000 Time Warner Cable customers.
