Business Wire14-07-2025
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xumo, a streaming platform joint venture between Comcast and Charter Communications, today announced the nationwide launch of a new line of Xumo TVs from Westinghouse. Designed to provide consumers an effortless streaming experience, Westinghouse Xumo TVs are now available in the U.S. on Amazon.com and Walmart.com, with plans to expand to additional retailers in the future.
Westinghouse Xumo TVs are now available in 4K UHD (43' and 50') and 2K HD (24', 32', 40', and 43') models, and will offer features designed to enhance content discoverability and simplify the streaming experience, making it easier than ever for viewers to find and enjoy the content they love. Later this year, 55', 58' and 65' 4K models will become available.
'Westinghouse and Xumo are a natural fit because we each prioritize quality and simplicity in the products we build,' said Stephanie Cassi, SVP, Sales and Marketing, Xumo. 'The Westinghouse Xumo TV delivers on both of those pillars, providing consumers an elevated viewing experience with an intuitive interface that makes discovering content effortless.'
'We chose Xumo for our next line of Westinghouse TVs because its user-friendly OS cuts through the complexity of today's streaming landscape,' said Russ Johnston, President of Westinghouse Electronics USA. 'We're thrilled to launch these new models to Westinghouse dealers and distributors—giving consumers a chance to bring home a high-quality, affordable smart TV at a great value.'
The simplicity of the Xumo TV experience is driven by its powerful operating system – the same entertainment operating system behind tens of millions of devices from Comcast and its partners across the globe. It brings the TV's best features, like seamless content discovery, voice search and personalization, to life.
Key features of the Westinghouse Xumo TV include:
Access to the best in streaming: Xumo TV brings all the best in streaming together in one place, including top apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, Peacock and Prime Video, and free streaming services like Pluto TV, Tubi and Xumo Play, plus hundreds more.
Content-forward home screen: The Xumo TV home screen puts content front and center. Customers can quickly jump back into recently watched content, or they can browse personalized recommendations and curated collections featuring programming from across their favorite streaming services.
Universal Voice Search: Rather than hopping between apps or guessing where to watch, Xumo TV's voice search enables customers to find what they're looking for by searching across multiple streaming apps – all at once. With the included voice remote, customers can search by saying a title, actor or genre into their remote, eliminating the need for manual text input.
My List: With My List, customers can bookmark shows and movies across streaming services and create a personalized watchlist they can come back to when they're ready to find something new.
Next-level picture and audio quality: The 4K UHD Westinghouse Xumo TVs support Dolby Vision® HDR10 technology, providing enhanced color and contrast for an ever more immersive viewing experience, and Dolby Atmos® pass-through, which enables a theater-like sound experience when connected to compatible audio devices.

Come One, Come All! Buy Your TV Subscriptions Here!

Millions of Americans are gravitating toward a new way to subscribe to streaming services — and tech, media and cable companies are lining up to take advantage. Facing a chaotic maze of apps, payments and passwords, people are increasingly signing up for multiple streaming services through a single provider. Amazon, by far the leader in this growing trend, urges users of its Prime Video service to sign up for and watch HBO Max, Paramount+ and other services through its app. Apple, Roku and YouTube encourage the same — as do cable providers like Comcast. The number of new subscriptions purchased through one of these third-party apps has jumped 40 percent over the past two years, according to research from Antenna, a subscription research firm. Nearly 30 percent of all new subscriptions are bought this way. Signing up directly — like through a company website — still remains the most popular way to get a new streaming subscription. But the sudden popularity of signing up through a third party signals the emergence of a new kind of cable bundle, a development that media executives have predicted for many years but that had not yet become much of a reality. The shift could help reshape the consumer experience. Viewers can go to one platform and find a single interface with shows and movies that are available on a wide array of services, or channels. It also has set off a fight between media, tech and cable companies to try to be the dominant one-stop shop. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

MSNBC name change: See what netizens are saying about the rebrand

MSNBC's rebrand isn't quite landing. After the cable-news network announced it would become My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW, later this year, netizens have taken to social media to make their disdain for the name and logo change more than abundantly clear. The issue, according to the Internet, isn't just the name, it's also the look and 'feel' of the new logo. 'MSNBC changing its name to MS NOW is one of the worst branding disasters in media history. The logo looks like it belongs on a discount computer from 1998, not a serious news network,' one user wrote. 'Absurd.' The rebranding is part of a larger restructuring currently taking place at NBCUniversal. The network, along with other brands including USA Network, Syfy, CNBC, Golf Channel, GolfNow, and SportsEngine will become part of a new media company called VERSANT later this year. 'This name further underscores our mission: to serve as your destination for breaking news and thoughtful analysis and remain the home for the perspectives that you've relied on for nearly 30 years,' MSNBC said in an Aug. 18 statement.' See what netizens are saying about the rebrand. Why the name change? And what does MS NOW stand for? MS NOW stands for My Source News Opinion World and the name change, according to MSNBC, 'gives us the freedom to chart our own path forward, and we're excited about where it's headed.' The move conflicts with previous claims made by NBCUniversal that the network would be allowed to keep its name amid the shift. NBC's iconic peacock logo will no longer be used for the cable-news network, either. A memo sent Aug. 18 by MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler addressed the flip-flop, writing: 'During this time of transition, NBCUniversal decided that our brand requires a new, separate identity… The future of our success is not tied to remaining within the NBC family and using the peacock as part of our identity,' Rebecca Kutler, MSNBC President, wrote in an Aug. 18 memo addressed to staff. The peacock-looking logo, according to MSNBC CEO Mark Lazarus, 'is synonymous with NBCUniversal, and it is a symbol they have decided to keep within the NBCU family.' Because of this decision, MSNBC is now free to 'chart our own path forward, create distinct brand identities, and establish an independent news organization following the spin.' Social media reacts: 'I will never call it the new name' MSNBC has certainly ruffled some feathers with the announcement, with netizens posting reactions (complete with GIFs), opinions and critiques about the rebrand, dubbed one of the 'worst branding disasters in media history' on X, formerly known as Twitter, in the last 24 hours. Here's what netizens are saying, or have said, about MSNBC's proposed rebrand since the news broke on Aug. 18. MSNBC to changing their name to MS NOW is like HBO changing their name to MAX and facebook changing to Meta and Twitter to XI will never call it the new name — David Leavitt 🎲🎮🧙‍♂️🌈 (@David_Leavitt) August 18, 2025 Liza Minnelli has outlived MSNBC's name.
