    Seeso was an over-the-top subscription streaming service owned by Comcast through NBCUniversal,[1][2] launched on January 7, 2016, and closed on November 8, 2017. It provided comedy content such as original and broadcast television shows.

    History[edit]

    On October 15, 2015, Seeso was officially announced with certain titles in its library.[4] On December 3, Seeso was launched in an open beta that lasted from December 3, 2015 to January 6, 2016.[5] Seeso was officially launched the day after.[6]

    On September 30, 2016, Seeso announced its first event called the "Stand-Up Streaming Fest", in which a title of comedy content would become available within a week, bringing a total of 12 specials for 12 weeks.[7]

    On May 3, 2017, Evan Shapiro announced his departure from the company. He was replaced by Maggie Suniewick, president of NBCU digital enterprises.[8]

    On August 9, 2017, Seeso announced via its Facebook page that the service would be shutting down by the end of 2017.[9] On November 8, Seeso shut down its streaming service.[10]
