Cablevision Now Live-streaming CBS Broadcasts

Cablevision's Optimum TV customers now can stream CBS live online and on mobile devices, as the cable company is the first operator to provide access to live streaming on CBS.com and the CBS app, the companies said Tuesday. The live feed includes CBS daytime, primetime and late-night programming, plus local news and sports and special events, they said. Cablevision Executive Vice President-Programming Tom Montemagno said the cable company "now holds distribution rights for all of CBS’s streaming platforms, demonstrating our commitment to providing customers with the ability to watch the high-quality content they desire on their own terms.” The two announced last year that a new multiyear carriage agreement between them also let Optimum Online customers have access to CBS All Access and Showtime Internet services (see 1508250019).
