Cynopsis: DIGITAL 01/06/11 Good morning, it’s Thursday, January 6, 2011, and this is your first early morning digital briefing. If you would like to read this or any other Cynopsis edition online, click here. On the eve of CES Comcast has answered the call for more viewing flexibility, announcing plans to offer Slingbox style in-home streaming of live TV and access to on demand content via applications for Apple’s iPad and Android-powered tablets. A new “Play Now” option coming to Comcast’s Xfinity TV iPad app in the coming weeks will enable subscribers to view nearly 3,000 hours of On Demand Content via Wi-Fi. Comcast has also launched a new feature on XfinityTV.com that enables customers to search for programming and to change channels on a TV set directly from the site. The news should provide a huge boost to the coming line of Android tablets, which are expected to help more than double tablet PC penetration in the U.S. from 10.3 million units in 2010 to 24 million units this year, according to a newly revised forecast from Forrester. ~ MULTIPLATFORM CONTENT NEWS ~
Lifetime‘s ripped-from-the-headlines movie “The Craigslist Killer” was the network’s 5th best original movie premiere ever (5.4 million viewers) and helped MyLifetime.com record a high water mark for unique viewers.
