PHILADELPHIA — Bundles are back.
The latest offering is Comcast’s StreamSaver, a new bundle that includes Netflix, Apple TV+ and Peacock, NBC’s streaming platform.
The “great rebundling,” as it’s been dubbed, comes in response to the cord-cutting trend that has seen millions of customers ditch the cable bundle to save money only to spend more on a host of streaming services. Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery are partnering for the own sports-centric streaming bundle called Venu, which is expected to launch in the fall.
“In recent years, streaming has gotten confusing and expensive as more services than ever are vying for eyeballs,” Jacob Stern wrote recently in The Atlantic. “It has done the impossible: made people miss the good old-fashioned cable bundle.”
Here’s everything we know about StreamSaver:
When is StreamSaver launching?
May 29.
What will be included in StreamSaver?
StreamSaver will offer customers access to all the content on three streaming services: Netflix, Apple TV+ and Peacock, NBC’s streaming platform.
