"SEESO," A NEW STREAMING COMEDY CHANNEL DEBUTS IN JANUARY

The Ad-Free Subscription Service from NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises Offers Original and Library TV and Film Content for $3.99 a Month

Seeso Will Feature 52 Weeks of Exclusive, Original Series and Stand-Up, From Dan Harmon, Upright Citizens Brigade, Cameron Esposito, Wyatt Cenac and Other Comic Illuminati Plus Curated Content Including NBC Late Night Shows, "Monty Python's Flying Circus," "The Kids in the Hall," The US and UK Versions of "The Office" and More

NEW YORK - October 15, 2015 - NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises today unveiled Seeso, a new streaming comedy channel, the first of its kind offering from NBCUniversal. Set to debut in January 2016, the ad-free subscription service will be available at www.seeso.com and on streaming platforms, connected devices and other distribution partners for $3.99 per month.

Seeso strives to combine the immediacy of TV viewing with the best in OTT technology, creating a unique user experience. The streaming channel will offer a variety of SVOD innovations, including an autoplay function which provides immediate viewing satisfaction. Additionally, a hunt while you watch function will allow viewers to continue watching while they look for what to watch next; and the free-forever front porch, which enables viewers to enjoy a subset of Seeso content - no credit card required - by entering only an email address.

"Big streaming services have created a paradox of choice - they're great if you know exactly what to watch, but if you aren't in the middle of a binge, the search can be near endless," said Evan Shapiro, Executive Vice President of NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises. "By focusing on a specific, yet large niche, and providing a curated experience, we can help viewsers find good stuff they might not or cannot find. Seeso is your neighborhood comedy eatery, with daily specials from a chef you trust."

Targeting comedy super fans, Seeso will offer subscribers a stream of comedy programming updated with new content every day, new episodes of exclusive, original comedy each and every week, live-streamed stand-up every month, and curated acquired series and films throughout the year. Additionally, Seeso staff and guest comedy nerds will handpick on demand playlists of recommended content each month.

Seeso will feature weekly programming including more than 20 exclusive, original series from comedy illuminati in the first year. Original shows include "HarmonQuest," a comedy epic, combining live action and animation from "Community" and "Rick and Morty" creator Dan Harmon; "The UCB Show" from hosts, creators, and Upright Citizens Brigade founders Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts and Matt Besser; reality show spoof "Bajillion Dollar Propertie$" from executive producers Scott Aukerman, Ben Garant, Tom Lennon and Kulap Vilaysack; workplace comedy "Thingstarter," and dating game improv show "Dave & Ethan: Lovemakers," both from Broadway Video's Above Average Productions; stand-up series "Night Train with Wyatt Cenac;" stand-up series "Take My Wife" from creators and hosts Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher; travel show parody "Hidden America with Johan Ray;" comedy series "Live From The Barrel House" and "The Comedy Show Show" from Rooftop Comedy; a musical comedy about mismatched housemates - one human, one puppet - "Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane;" dark family comedy "Flowers," starring Julian Barratt and Olivia Colman; among numerous others.

Beyond its originals, Seeso will curate an "artisanal selection" of great comedy, featuring for the first time ever on SVOD and exclusively on Seeso, "Monty Python's Flying Circus," remastered to HD for the first time, along with the Python films, and the complete collection of Python documentaries and specials. Seeso's curated library also includes the entire collection of "The Kids in the Hall," also remastered to HD for the first time; complete collections of NBC late night hits "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Late Night with Seth Meyers," and "Saturday Night Live" - including new episodes of each show available next day; and the entire series of NBC's hit "The Office," the original BBC version of "The Office," "Parks and Recreation," "30 Rock," "The Mighty Boosh," "The IT Crowd," "Nathan Barley," "The Young Ones," and hundreds of hours of television and films, specifically chosen to fit the Seeso filter of right brain comedy.
