  • NBC News (NASDAQ:CMCSA) will launch a streaming service this year in a quest for younger viewers who've largely abandoned the evening newscast as a primary source.
  • The company hasn't yet decided whether it will be a subscription service. NBC's twice-daily Snapchat show Stay Tuned has 5M subscribers, and is tracking toward 37M-38M unique visitors this month vs. 33M last month -- relatively successful especially in comparison with rivals like CNN, which shut down its daily Snapchat show.
  • The media age of viewers of NBC Nightly News is 64, according to Nielsen.
  • And Chairman Andy Lack says NBC News has no plans to bring its content back to Facebook (NASDAQ:FB): “Facebook doesn’t have value for publishers." Facebook's own video news ambitions are beginning to take shape with a planned program for its Watch tab.
