NCTC Members Get TV Everywhere

The NCTC has enabled more than 80 member companies with its TV Everywhere authentication solution developed collaboratively with several members. The platform, known as Watch TV Everywhere, is designed to allow member companies to offer their subscribers authenticated programming content across multiple screens. Most of the major programmers offering TVE content have now been integrated onto the platform. The platform also supports a variety of member billing system solutions.The NCTC created a member advisory committee to help define the near term priorities and evaluate different technical solutions. The NCTC was then able to accelerate the development and deployment by leveraging work already being done by one of its members, Massillon Cable TV, which agreed to contribute its efforts to an NCTC overall solution.The NCTC plans to create additional solutions in partnership to provide expanded TV Everywhere capabilities for its members and is working on solutions to help originate content and enhanced navigation solutions for multiscreen access.
