NBCUniversal Plans Mobile-First News Subscription Service for Late 2025

The premium service will focus on video content and cater to younger, digital-first audiences with live streams, on-demand programming, and podcasts.

  • NBCUniversal News Group Chairman Cesar Conde announced plans for a subscription-based news service targeting a fourth-quarter 2025 launch.
  • The service will emphasize short-form and long-form video content, designed for mobile consumption and younger audiences who increasingly rely on digital platforms like TikTok and YouTube for news.
  • The offering will feature nearly two dozen live streams in English and Spanish, original video content from NBC News talent, and on-demand access to programs like 'Today' and 'Meet the Press.'
  • It will also provide access to NBC News' podcast library and lifestyle-focused programming, including true crime and international news content.
  • NBCUniversal's move follows a broader industry trend as traditional news outlets, including CNN and CBS News, expand their digital and streaming services to remain relevant in a shifting media landscape.
