In addition to books, toys and garden hoses, Amazon now sells service bundles from Comcast. The phone, Internet and TV Xfinity packages, part of the retail giant’s new “Amazon Cable Store,” are priced the same as those offered via Comcast. So what’s the draw? “Amazon is not only the biggest online retailer and a place where millions of our customers shop every day, but it’s also a brand that’s unrivaled when it comes to customer service,” said Charlie Herrin, EVP of customer experience for Comcast Cable. And you know cable’s reputation for customer service. At Amazon, cable customers are offered “dedicated customer service, exclusively for Amazon customers.” Plus gift cards.

DIGITAL DOINGS

Bounce TV launched a free mobile app that features full seasons of original series including Saints & Sinners, Mann & Wife and Family Time, as well as films and Premier Boxing Champions – The Next Round fights. The app is being introduced because despite “record-breaking ratings growth,” according to Jonathan Katz, COO of Bounce, there are still services “that are behind the times and undervalue African-American consumers by not offering Bounce. The Bounce TV app complements our existing viewership by expanding the network’s available audience base and giving everyone access to our programming.”

And if they do say so themselves, it’s “the best one we’ve ever done,” David Benihoff told EW, speaking for himself and co-creator Dan Weiss. “Usually there’s an episode or two we’re kind of nervous about, that didn’t turn out as well as we hoped. This season there is not a weak episode.”

UPFRONTS UPDATE

Pop announced an upfront slate on Monday that includes over 400 hours of original content and eight original shows. “We have had nine quarters of year-over-year growth,” net president Brad Schwartz tells Cynopsis. “Small shifts are making big differences.” Banking on increased distribution to keep numbers growing for content designed to attract a target audience of “modern grown-ups,” fun-loving, socially engaged entertainment fans, new docu-comedy Hollywood Darlings, focused on child stars of the 90s, joins original scripted comedies Schitt’s Creek and Nightcap, returning series Sing it On, Rock This Boat: New Kids on the Block and Unusually Thicke, pop culture game show Easiest Game Show Ever and after show Big Brother After Dark.

One year after the network’s rebrand, advertisers are responding. “We’ve added nearly 100 new blue chip advertisers and are well-positioned for this year’s upfront offering a premium cable environment at an efficient price,” said Michael DuPont, EVP, Ad Sales. “Advertisers view Pop as an attractive and more competitive alternative to other lifestyle and entertainment networks.”
