"We are committed to helping viewers enjoy the wide breadth of our programs across an equally wide range of devices and distribution models," said Bob Wright, vice chairman of GE and chairman and CEO of NBC Universal.

We are pleased to partner with them in this new venture." Pricing & Availability Television shows are available in the US only, and video availability varies by country.
