Time Warner to begin live streaming TNT and TBS channels starting this summer

Oh, how the times are a-changin’.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Steve Koonin, head honcho of Turner Entertainment Networks, confirmed these online services are due to kick off this summer and will allow interested streamers to watch content “anytime, anywhere, on multiple devices.” Just don’t go thinking you can join the cord-cutting crowd, as you’ll still need a proper cable subscription to enjoy TBS or TNT on the interwebs.

Imagine those ticker boards you see at train stations, jazzed up with a little modern flavor. The dots are white on one side, black on the other, and move at 15 times the speed of their typical rail-station counterparts — giving a real-time effect. The installation is set up in Manhattan’s Herald Square until July 29th, and is fully interactive. When pedestrians walk past, the board updates to reflect their movement, and this “silhouette” interacts with words and images on the screen. Extra sensory stimulation also comes from the noise the board makes, literally letting you hear your movements. If a picture paints a thousand words, then 44,000 dots in a video paints even more.
