NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CBS Corporation
today announced the launch of a commercial-free plan for
the CBS All Access subscription service. In
addition to the existing subscription offering of $5.99/month, subscribers now have the option to
watch CBS All Access's on-demand content
commercial-free for $9.99/month.
"The foundation of CBS All Access is not only
about giving CBS fans access to more of the content they want, but
also giving them more choice in how they watch their favorite CBS
programming," said Marc DeBevoise,
President and Chief Operating Officer of CBS Interactive. "The
addition of a commercial-free plan gives our subscribers even more
ways to customize their CBS viewing experience – from which devices
to whether they watch in or out of the home, and now with
commercials or without."
With the commercial-free plan, subscribers will be able to
watch CBS All Access's on-demand library of more
than 7,500 episodes, including full current seasons of primetime
hits like BIG BROTHER, BLUE BLOODS, MADAM SECRETARY and THE
ODD COUPLE among many others, as well as late night, daytime
and news programming, all without commercials. CBS All
Access's upcoming original series, including the next
chapter of the legendary "Star Trek" TV franchise, STAR TREK:
DISCOVERY, a spinoff of "The Good Wife" and a new digital edition
of "Big Brother" will also be available commercial-free under
the $9.99/month plan.
Subscribers to the $5.99/month
plan will continue to experience reduced commercials when watching
on-demand content and be able to watch CBS Classics without
commercials. Current subscribers will have the option to move
to the commercial-free plan by logging on to their account
through CBS.com.
For the commercial-free plan, CBS All Access's
live-streaming offering of local CBS Television stations, which is
available throughout the U.S. in more than 150 markets, will
continue to feature the same commercials as the over-the-air
broadcast, and select on-demand shows will include promotional
interruptions.
CBS All Access is available online at CBS.com,
on mobile devices and tablets via the CBS App for iOS, Android and
Windows 10, and on Roku Players, Apple TV, Xbox One, Xbox 360,
Chromecast, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, with more
connected device platforms coming soon.
