Viacom has decided it’s going to jump into the streaming market with everyone else and offer an ad supported service. They are holding their cards close to the vest, but it’s expected they’ll be opening up their full portfolio of content. However, there’s always some bad to go with the good in everything and this is no exception because they are calling this a cable TV provider complement product. I guess we’ll see whether or not this is worth a subscription later this year.



Additionally, the company stressed that the service is not designed for cord cutters, necessarily. That means, it’s not positioned as a way to watch Viacom’s programming when you ditch your cable or satellite TV subscription in favor of streaming.
