Sony has reportedly been in preliminary talks with companies regarding its Crackle video-streaming service and the possibility of offering skinny bundles of video channels. “The result could be a dramatic expansion of distribution for the advertising-supported service now largely available through Internet-connected TV sets, gaming consoles and other online devices,” suggests TheStreet. Dish Network’s Sling TV and Verizon FiOS are among the services that already offer special packages with a limited numbers of channels. According to comScore, Crackle has 27 million unique users per month.
