Charter’s
Spectrum
TV
Select
cable
plan
will
include
a
free
ad-supported
Peacock
Premium
subscription
next
year,
reports
Reuters.
The
addition
comes
as
Charter
announced
today
that
it
has
reached
a
new
“multi-year
deal”
with
NBCUniversal,
which
owns
Peacock,
to
keep
its
TV
channels
in
Charter’s
cable
lineup.
Charter
recently
lined
up
a
similar
agreement
with
Disney
that
lets
it
bundle
Disney’s
ad-supported
Disney
Plus
Basic
with
Spectrum
TV
Select.
(Upgrading
to
Spectrum
TV
Select
Plus
adds
ESPN
Plus,
too.)
It’s
all
part
of
Charter’s
new
hybrid
approach
to
bundles
that
allows
it
to
bundle
other
companies’
streaming
subscriptions
with
its
cable
plans
and
even
sell
them
to
its
internet
customers,
too.
That
lets
the
company
boost
the
value
of
its
plans
by
pitching
customers
on
the
convenience
of
bundling
all
of
their
myriad
streaming
services
into
one
bill.

context
on
that,

story

Charter’s
new
play
as
cable
continues
its
decline.)
As
for
the
cost
of
the
plan,
Charter
doesn’t
seem
to
have
announced
that
yet.
Customers
signing
up
for
Spectrum
cable
offerings
today
can
choose
from
TV
Stream
($40
per
month),
TV
Select
Signature
($95
per
month),
or
TV
Select
Plus
($105
per
month)
—
or
one
of
the
two
Spanish
language
offerings
for
$25
or
$70
per
month.
