Spotify teaming up with Comedy Central and others for video content

I don’t really use Spotify’s music streaming service and instead prefer SiriusXM radio. Reason being is because Spotify’s metal channels aren’t as varied and SiriusXM has good DJ’s and Howard Stern Show of which Spotify has none of, so that’s why I have that preference.

In any case, Spotify is looking to expand its content offerings to include podcasts and video according to The Hollywood Reporter. The producers of said video include networks like NBC, Comedy Central, and even online brands like Nerdist are all producing short clips for the service.

No word yet as to what kind of content we are getting, like original content vs clips of older stuff, so we’ll see if this becomes successful and more brands opt to jump in.
