Overstock Plans Streaming-Video Service

Coverage Type: 

Overstock.com is planning a streaming-video service, joining a crowded field that includes rival Amazon.

The online retailer plans to introduce the service in 2015 with about 30,000 titles and will ultimately feature original content created by Overstock, Chief Executive Patrick Byrne announced. He did not specify any titles that will be available. The service will offer options for renting and purchasing digital films and televisions shows, Byrne said. The new Overstock service would be tied to the company’s $20-per-year Club O membership program, which offers 5 percent back on every order, free shipping and other discounts. Byrne said there would be an additional fee for members to stream videos.
