Charter\u2019s Spectrum TV Select cable plan will include a free ad-supported Peacock Premium subscription next year, reports Reuters<\/em><\/a>. The addition comes as Charter announced<\/a> today that it has reached a new \u201cmulti-year deal\u201d with NBCUniversal, which owns Peacock, to keep its TV channels in Charter\u2019s cable lineup. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Charter recently lined up a similar agreement with Disney<\/a> that lets it bundle Disney\u2019s ad-supported Disney Plus Basic with Spectrum TV Select. (Upgrading to Spectrum TV Select Plus adds ESPN Plus, too.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s all part of Charter\u2019s new hybrid approach to bundles that allows it to bundle other companies\u2019 streaming subscriptions with its cable plans and even sell them to its internet customers, too. That lets the company boost the value of its plans by pitching customers on the convenience of bundling all of their myriad streaming services into one bill. (For more context on that, check out Alex Cranz\u2019s Verge <\/em>story<\/a> diving into Charter\u2019s new play as cable continues its decline.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As for the cost of the plan, Charter doesn\u2019t seem to have announced that yet. Customers signing up for Spectrum cable offerings<\/a> today can choose from TV Stream ($40 per month), TV Select Signature ($95 per month), or TV Select Plus ($105 per month) \u2014 or one of the two Spanish language offerings for $25 or $70 per month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
