PlayStation Vue will add BBC America, NBA TV and broadcast
stations from CBS and Fox, according to a blog post on Sony's
PlayStation website.
Dwayne Benefield, the head of PlayStation Vue, said the decision
was part of an ongoing evaluation of the service.
"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," he said. (http://bit.ly/2fB9aku)
Sony has existing streaming deals with Walt Disney Co networks,
including ESPN and ABC, as well as the NFL Network and Time
Warner Inc's HBO.
The service can be used by PlayStation 3 and 4 users and can be
accessed on Apple Inc's iPads and iPhones through the
PlayStation Vue mobile app.
Viacom is also in talks with Alphabet Inc's YouTube over
distribution of its channel, according to people familiar with
the matter.
