Google Chromecast gets new content from HGTV, CBS and FOX
OK, so you bought a Chromecast because it was super cheap and ultra cute, but you have yet to really utilize it. I get it -- everyone is so damn busy nowadays, that it can be hard to relax and watch TV and movies. Plus, while content availability for Google's dongle has improved immensely, there is still progress to be made.
Well folks, it is time to dust off your little Chromecast and fire up your television, as today, Google announces new content. No, this is not third-rate programming, but top-shelf stuff like FOX and CBS. Yes, you can now "cast" Big Bang Theory -- bazinga!
"CBS All Access is now casting shows like The Big Bang Theory and NCIS. And for those seeking a little outside inspiration for their summer project, indulge in new HGTV episodes of Property Brothers and Fixer Upper. EMPIRE fans, we've got you covered too. You can now stream the entire first season and catch up before Season 2 starts in the fall, or watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine using FOX NOW, as well as The Americans and Louie using FXNOW", says Ananda Sen, Business Development Manager, Google.
Sen also shares news of less exciting, albeit potentially interesting content, "finally, check out the streaming service Pluto TV which curates over 100 channels of news, music, sports, web and TV shows, or Haystack -- a news app that is tuned specifically to your interests so that you can keep up with current events and happenings around the world".
Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite shows, so I look forward to casting that with my Chromecast. However, I am more excited to watch Empire, as it received rave reviews and I never got the opportunity to watch it. Heck, even Pluto TV sounds like it has potential. Google's dongle is becoming more useful all the time.
