Perhaps following NBC’s lead on streaming the entire Super Bowl for free, CBS announced that it will stream the entire Grammy Awards this Sunday online for the first time ever — but only in 14 select markets.
The 57th annual Grammy Awards will be available via CBS All Access. All it takes is signing up for a free one-week trial, and users can view it on desktop or mobile. If viewers decided to stick around after that, it’s $5.99 subscription per month, which enables them to view other live events and CBS content on demand. Signing up also gives access to CBS’s behind-the-scenes reporting from the red carpet and backstage with Grammy Live.
Unfortunately, CBS is only offering this in 14 cities, including: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis, Miami, Denver, Sacramento, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. No Seattle.
I don’t quite know what their reasoning is behind not streaming in one of the most tech/online-driven cities in America, but there you have it. Maybe it’s because we actually have good music taste in Seattle?
