Comcast's 'OnDemand Online' Web Video Service Coming This Year
Fri, Feb 20th, 2009 |
Some more details on Comcast's (CMCSA) forthcoming Web video service:
- Comcast will launch the service, tentatively called 'OnDemand Online', later this year.
- It's not directly going after Hulu, because Hulu is mostly TV shows from broadcast networks like NBC and Fox, its owners.
Comcast's 'OnDemand Online', on the other hand, is mostly new content from cable networks that isn't online yet. (Cable networks haven't put as much content on Hulu yet or on the Web at all.)
