Comcast Launches Streaming TV In Europe

* Comcast Corp's (NASDAQ:CMCSA) European pay-TV offering Sky launched a smart television called Sky Glass.

* Sky Glass allows customers to stream Sky TV and other content over the internet without the Sky Q set-top box or a satellite dish.

* Sky Glass will be available in the U.K. from October 18 and launch in Sky's other European markets from 2022.

* The TV, which comes after Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Apple TV, and the Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon Fire dongle, is available in five colors and three sizes, small 43 inches, medium 55 inches, and large 65 inches.

* The smallest option will be priced from ?13 per month, while the medium option will be an additional ?4 a month, and the largest will be an extra ?8. Customers can buy outright for ?649, ?849 and ?1,049, respectively, CNBC reports.

* However, customers need to pay an additional ?26 a month to access Sky's content through the television.

* Customers can access Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX), The Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) Disney+, BBC iPlayer, Peloton Interactive Inc (NASDAQ:PTON), and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:SPOT) through the TV.

* Comcast will launch a new 4K smart camera for Sky Glass in 2022 that supports chat, gaming, and workouts.

* Price Action: CMCSA shares traded higher by 1.72% at $57.88 on the last check Thursday.
