ABC to stream network shows live to iOS devices
May 13th 2013
ABC will be rolling out a new system for streaming local ABC stations via an iOS app, reports the New York Times. The system will require a subscription to a participating cable/satellite provider.
The system sounds similar to ABC¹s ESPN 3 live streaming app. That allows live streaming anywhere of live sports events once users are authenticated through their cable/sat providers gateway. Like the ESPN Watch app, the new app will be named Watch ABC. The NYT reports the app may go live this week after a formal announcement on Tuesday.
