Comcast Launches StreamSaver: A New Streaming Bundle

Comcast has introduced a new streaming bundle, StreamSaver, which packages its Peacock service with Netflix and Apple TV+ for $15 monthly. 

This offer is available to all Xfinity internet and TV customers, providing significant savings and a comprehensive entertainment package.

Cost and Savings:

David Watson, Comcast Cable CEO, announced the StreamSaver bundle at the J.P. Morgan Technology, Media, and Communications Conference, emphasizing that it offers more than 30% savings. He described StreamSaver as a “companion to broadband,” highlighting its affordability and convenience.

Customers can combine StreamSaver with Comcast’s latest service, “NOW TV,” which includes over 40 streaming channels, for $30 per month. This combination aims to deliver a wide variety of content, including top-tier entertainment and live sports.

Market Context and Customer Benefits:

Streaming platforms have been increasingly offering bundled services at discounted rates to combat market saturation and attract consumers who may be reluctant to subscribe to multiple individual services. 

This strategic move aims to provide customers with a more affordable and consolidated viewing experience.

Comcast StreamSaver Content and Features:

StreamSaver includes subscriptions to the Netflix standard plan with ads, Peacock Premium, and Apple TV+, starting from May 29 for Xfinity customers in the United States. 

This bundle provides a wide range of content from three major streaming platforms, ensuring diverse viewing options.

“StreamSaver is a home run for consumers who want top-tier entertainment and live sports,” Watson said in a statement, underscoring the bundle’s value and appeal to customers.

Industry Trends:

The introduction of StreamSaver follows a similar trend in the streaming industry, with companies forming partnerships to offer bundled services. On May 8, Warner Bros Discovery and Walt Disney announced a bundle combining Disney+, Hulu, and Max streaming services. 

These collaborations indicate a shift towards more integrated and value-driven offerings in the streaming market.
