Verizon\u2019s long-rumored live TV streaming service appears to be having some issues.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reported this past March<\/a> that the telecom giant was planning to launch an online TV service that would ostensibly compete with the likes of Dish\u2019s Sling TV and AT&T\u2019s DirecTV Now over the summer. A couple months later, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam seemed to confirm<\/a> that the company had its eyes on an over-the-top service, one that may use its new Oath brand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But no new service ever came to pass, and now Bloomberg reports<\/a> that Verizon is targeting next spring to try its luck in the growing online TV market<\/a>. The report cites technical issues, staff turnover, and complications in programming rights negotiations as reasons for the delay, and the story notes that this is \u201cat least\u201d the second time the Web-based service has been delayed internally.<\/p>\n

Verizon reported its Q3 earnings<\/a> on Thursday and said it lost 18,000 net pay-TV subscribers over the course of the quarter, highlighting the cord-cutting trend that\u2019s coercing cable providers<\/a> like Verizon into offering cheaper online alternatives. On an accompanying conference call, Verizon CFO Matt Ellis said the company \u201cthink[s] that it makes sense for [Verizon] to play\u201d in the over-the-top video market, but it doesn\u2019t want to launch \u201cjust a me-too type product.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we are continuing to look at what makes sense for us to launch something that's differentiated in that space,\u201d Ellis said. \u201cProbably around live programming. But how and when we launch something will be TBD.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not totally clear how the would-be service will compare to existing \u201cskinny bundles\u201d like Sling TV, whether it would involve a partnership of some sort, or how much it would cost. Past reports have said that it would live separately from Go90, the struggling<\/a> YouTube competitor that Verizon overhauled earlier this year. Given that Verizon still has a stake in keeping people subscribed to cable, one would imagine it won\u2019t try to undercut its FiOS TV business too<\/em> much.<\/p>\n

Whatever it looks like, though, the service will be playing catch-up from the jump.<\/p>\n
