NBCUniversal and Samsung launched their new partnership on Wednesday, which now has live and breaking news from NBC News Now and content from Dateline on the Dateline 24/7 channel, now available on Samsung TV Plus.
“We are thrilled at the continued expansion of our partnership with NBCUniversal by bringing Dateline 24/7 to the US and NBC News Now to Canada,” added Samsung TV Plus senior director of content acquisitions and business development Takashi Nakano (h/t TV Newser).
“In complement to NBC Locals and NBC News Now, NBC continues to be the premier destination for trusted news and high-quality entertainment. Our partnership in delivering a geo-targeted and hyper-relevant experience is proving extremely valuable to Samsung users.”
Furthermore, Samsung’s free ad-supported TV (FAST) and VOD service, as well as Samsung-owned, operated, and branded mobile apps across the US and Canada, will also be included in having NBC News Now and content from Dateline.
“Samsung’s touchpoints across all devices are important destinations for viewers who rely on NBCUniversal brands as trusted places of information and entertainment,” NBCUniversal Content Distribution chief Matt Schnaars said in a statement.
“Samsung is a valued partner and plays a critical role in us ensuring our audiences have access to NBC News programming 24/7, wherever they are.”
