CENTURYLINK IS INCHING TOWARD the launch of a slimmed-down over-the-top TV product, anticipating a commercial launch in the early part of the third quarter. "We are still in the process of technically trialing the product in four markets," Maxine Moreau, CenturyLink's president of consumer markets, said recently on the company's Q1 earnings call. "It's going well. We do plan to launch the service in early next quarter... We'll evaluate the pricing strategy, the packaging strategy and then we will phase in the launch over the rest of the year," she said. That's a bit of a delay from earlier stated plans that the OTT TV product would launch in early Q2, and then expand into more markets by mid-year and into the rest of 2017.
