Following in the footsteps of NBC, TBS, TNT, ABC and a smattering of others, CBS has launched a new iOS app that enables iPhone, iPod touch and iPad owners to stream full-length, HD-quality episodes of CBS programming right on their mobile device. The app includes offerings from its primetime, daytime and late night schedule, with flagships like NCIS, CSI, How I Met Your Mother and The Late Show with David Letterman being called out in particular. Daytime and late night programming will be available within 24 hours after initial airing, while most primetime programs will be available on the eighth day after broadcast. For those awaiting similar treatment on non-iOS platforms, the company has assured the universe that it'll bring similar functionality to Windows 8 and Android "later this year."  The upside here is that there's no mention of cost, which should ease any frustrations of having to wait up to eight days to see something that aired live on the network. Moreover, the new app will integrate the existing CBS Connect App experience by the start of the Fall TV season, bringing a polished second-screen experience to those watching CSI, Criminal Minds, Hawaii Five-O and NCIS: Los Angeles. Now, if only we could convince every other channel to distribute its content over the web without arcane restrictions, we'd be happier than Gallagher at a farmer's market. Hide Press Release  CBS LAUNCHES FULL-EPISODE STREAMING APP FOR iPad AND iPhone  App Offers CBS's Leading Primetime Programming Eight Days After Broadcast  Daytime and Late Night Programming Available Day After Broadcast  App To Expand To All Major Mobile and Tablet Platforms Later This Year   NEW YORK – March 14, 2013 – CBS Corporation today announced the launch of the new CBS App for iPhone and iPad users, offering full-episode streaming of CBS programming from primetime, daytime and late night. The new app further extends the reach of the shows' audience, providing more flexibility and opportunity for catch-up viewing and opens yet another monetization window for the Company's industry-leading content.  The CBS App is available for immediate download from the App Store, and offers original and second-screen features for CBS's popular shows such as NCIS, THE GOOD WIFE, CSI, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, among many others. Daytime and late night programming will be available within 24 hours after initial airing, while most primetime programs will be available on the eighth day after broadcast.  CBS also announced it would introduce similar full-episode streaming apps for all major mobile and tablet platforms later this year, including Android and Windows 8.  "We have been methodically and strategically finding new ways to satiate the appetite for our content on new platforms, while tapping into the tremendous revenue provided by doing so," said Leslie Moonves, President and CEO, CBS Corporation. "Our announcement today achieves both of these objectives, while protecting our very healthy current ecosystem. In addition – by making our shows available on all the leading mobile devices out there – we are confident we will bring a whole new set of viewers to the CBS Television Network and build upon our standing as the #1 network in the business."  "Our online viewers not only want to watch their favorite shows on multiple devices, they want deeper engagement with the programs they love," said Jim Lanzone, President of CBS Interactive. "The new CBS App gives them the best of both worlds, letting people watch CBS shows on the best screen available for them, with a host of extra features that give them a richer viewing experience whenever and wherever they tune in."  The new CBS App will integrate the existing CBS Connect App experience by the start of the Fall TV season. At that time, the CBS App will offer: integrated social feeds; live events that allow fans to engage directly with talent; and second-screen experiences synched to the broadcast with additional content for select shows like CSI, CRIMINAL MINDS, HAWAII FIVE-O and NCIS: LOS ANGELES.  Buick is the official launch partner for the new CBS App, bringing users CBS programming with reduced commercial interruption for the first several weeks after launch.  The new app further extends the CBS.com experience to viewers, where the website has led all other broadcast networks in terms of unique viewers for 51 consecutive months (comScore Video Metrix, February 2013). </div></div>

Ustream on PlayStation 4: discovery, one-click sharing and being 'a modern day cable provider'

It was the only mention Ustream  got during the show, despite the video streaming service playing a  critical role in Sony's next video game console. In-tandem with the  PlayStation 4's new DualShock 4 controller  and its "Share" button, users will be able to quickly upload saved  gameplay video clips or directly stream their game out to the internet.  The console's lead system architect, Mark Cerny, expanded on the  importance of the Share button and its implications to the PlayStation 4  during last week's presentation. "Social play is so important to  PlayStation 4 that we've added in hardware to support it, in the form of  dedicated, always-on video compression and decompression systems," he  said.<br /> We saw a bit of the game sharing / streaming interface  during Sony's presentation, but were left wondering about specifics: how  will discovery work? and what of other, non-gaming Ustream content?  Thankfully, Ustream CEO Brad Hunstable was able to offer up most of our  answers in a recent interview. "Our goal is to allow discovery in a very  clean user experience, both in discovery on the console itself and on  various platforms that the content'll be available on (like Ustream,  Twitter, and Facebook)," Hunstable said. He wouldn't speak to the  specifics of how that discovery will work, nor would he say if you'll be  able to sign-in simply using your PlayStation Network ID or if you'll  have to sign up for a separate Ustream account, but he stressed that the  decisions being made are, "based on what's easiest and best for the  gamer." That same rubric is (<em>thankfully</em>) being applied to  functionality. "The goal is to make sure it's very easy -- one click of a  button, super simple -- and most importantly make sure it looks really,  really good. And is viewable wherever people want to watch it from,"  Hunstable said.<br />  	<div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Ustream on PlayStation 4 discovery, oneclick sharing, and being 'a modern day cable provider'" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/ps4interface620x340pxhedimgwmed.jpg" /></div>As for console culture versus PC gaming, where streaming has been the  norm for some time now, Hunstable's bullish on its reception. He even  went as far as to call his company, "a modern day cable provider," while  the PlayStation 4 is, "a modern day cable box." He cited gamers as "the  modern day star" in this analogy; "The way I'm really thinking about it  is you can think of gamers now having the ability to direct, produce,  and star in their own video game production, their own video game TV  show (if you will)." While we're not so sure we'd go that far just yet,  something else he said made that concept a bit more realistic.<br /><blockquote>    "It's very much our intention and plan to be able to serve the amazing  content outside of gaming into these consoles for entertainment  purposes. Whether that's a Justin Bieber concert or a Psy concert or an  asteroid flyby like we had the other day from NASA (that had about the  same viewership as the Sony PlayStation -- 8 million people, and one  million concurrents as well), all the way down to your local high school  football game. Our intention very much is to bring all the capability  of Ustream into these environments."</blockquote>Hunstable said  we'll find out many more specifics in the coming months. He also  confirmed that Ustream expects all of its promised PlayStation 4  functionality to be functioning and available alongside the console's  launch this holiday.<br />   	  	 </div></div>
