The
new bundle, StreamSaver, is a "companion to broadband" and
offers savings of more than 30% to customers, Comcast Cable CEO
David Watson said at the J.P. Morgan Technology, Media and
Communications Conference.
Customers can also combine StreamSaver with Comcast's newest
offering "NOW TV", which includes more than 40 streaming
channels, for $30 per month.
Streaming platforms have bundled services at a discounted rate
amid fears of market saturation and to attract customers who are
wary of signing up and paying for numerous individual services.
"StreamSaver is a homerun for consumers who want top-tier
entertainment and live sports," Watson said in a statement.
Comcast said the service would be rolled out on May 29 for
Xfinity customers in the United States and will include a
subscription to Netflix standard plan with ads, Peacock Premium,
and Apple TV+.
The partnership is the latest among streaming companies
following a similar one announced on May 8 between Warner Bros
Discovery and Walt Disney to offer a bundle of Disney+, Hulu and
Max streaming services.
