We’re one step closer to complete market saturation as Bloomberg reports that NBCUniversal (which owns MSNBC, CNBC, Syfy, USA Network, and more) plans to launch a free streaming service next year. The service will have ads, but NBCUniversal says that there will be an ad-free version available to users as well for a fee.
As has been the case with other media companies that have launched or are planning to launch streaming services in recent years, NBCU says that it will “retain rights to certain titles for its new service,” which seems to imply that some shows currently available on other platforms will be eventually be exclusive to NBC’s service.
