A recent report indicates Sony is currently meeting with potential content partners in order to introduce an internet TV streaming service to PlayStation later this year.
This is according to the Wall Street Journal*, who spoke with Sony's Andrew House about the company's plans to implement streaming services in the coming months.
The report states that just last week, Sony signed an agreement with Viacom that will allow the streaming of over 20 channels, including MTV and Nickelodeon. At this time, it's unclear exactly on which platforms this service will debut, but Sony has expressed interest in streaming games to other devices outside of PlayStation through their PlayStation Now game-streaming service.
"A streaming-based approach needs to have a very wide funnel of devices, and that inherently means a broad- and manufacturer-agnostic approach," House said of the company's streaming strategy.
PlayStation Now is currently in open beta on PlayStation 3 and has been in beta on the PlayStation 4 since August in North America. Check out IGN's entire list of games currently available on PlayStation Now.
IGN has reached out to Sony for comment and will update this story with any new details.
