XFinity/Comcast agreed to launch ACC Network Extra last year.


They did that along with ESPN3 and SEC Network +. They are bringing the streaming pages to their platform. This gives subscribers the ability to stream directly through the Xfinity box and not have to buy a Roku, AppleTV, or Amazon box. It will be interesting to see if they add ESPN+ because it requires a separate subscription directly with ESPN. I see this as competing with Roku. It would have been really nice if Comcast had done this when ESPN3 first came out.

What we're talking about is the linear ACCN channel. That requires Comcast to pay. These others don't.
