Target’s Netflix competitor featuring next-day TV shows to launch ‘soon’
Target is putting a bullâs eye oð n Netflix and iTunes.
The retail giant is set to launch a new video streaming service called Target Ticket that will directly compete with the two leaders in the industry â especially with its promise to have next-day TV shows availablęĶše for a fee, . News of the upstart first broke in May  about the service went live.
Target Ticket promises to be a formidable foe with instant access to 15,000 movie titles, new releases and classic movies. The company says the new service will work with Windows, Macs, Xbox, iPhone/iPad and Android.
Employees have beðen told Target Ticket will launch âsoon,â though details are unclear, . Currently, it is in trial mode with only employees able to use it.
Movies should cost anywhere from $13-$15 to own a digital copy or $4-$5 to rent wið§th indiviāĩēdual TV episodes priced at around $3.
ABC, AMC, CBS, CW, FOX, FX, HBO, The WB, NBC, Showtime, Starz and USA have all signed on to participate. Unlike iTunes, Target Ticket will not have a “season pass” option — you’ll only be able to purchase an entire season of a show after it airs, according to Tech Crunch.
