NBC updates iOS app with live streaming in select markets and partial catalog of classic shows


NBC has followed in ABC’s footsteps and released an update for its iOS app that introduces live streaming of the network’s content directly to an iPhone or iPad. Similarly to ABC’s offering, the feature is only available in a few select cable markets that this time and requires a subscription to a cable or satellite partner.

All users will be able to take advantage of the other new feature added in version 3.0, however. NBC has expanded its in-app library of classic shows to include full episodes of The A-Team, Miami Vice, Battlestar Galactica, and more. The episodes are viewable directly in the app and require no cable or satellite login to access.
You can download the free NBC application from the App Store now.

What’s New in Version 3.0

* Live video stream of NBC programming available for cable/satellite subscribers in select markets.
* Expanded full-episode library of classic NBC shows available, including The A-Team, Miami Vice, Kojak, Battlestar Galactica, The Incredible Hulk, Knight Rider and more!
