CBS is the lone holdout among the NFL’s TV partners in streaming regular games online. In 2013, it streamed Super Bowl XLVII from New Orleans, then last season, streamed the AFC playoff games. But even though it has online rights for Sunday afternoon games, CBS has elected not to. ESPN, Fox, NBC and even NFL Network all stream their packages online on computers and tablets.
Now it seems that CBS is ready to take the plunge and stream NFL games online, but for a price. CBS Chief Executive Officer Les Moonves told a media conference in New York thathe’s looking to add the NFL and other live sports to its new Over the Top service. Over the past few months, CBS has launched two online services, CBSN, an ad-driven service which streams CBS News content 24/7 and CBS All-Access, the aforementioned Over the Top subscription service where viewers can watch shows one day after they air on television. Currently the price to watch CBS programs on its All-Access platform is $5.99 per month.
