SNAPCHAT AND CHILL?<br />
It’s a full-time job keeping track of all the streaming services we’ve subscribed<br />
to over the last 12 months, never mind whether we remembered to pay the<br />
actual TV licence. (No, seriously, did we?) But Netflix, Amazon Prime and<br />
Now TV be warned, because soon we could all be watching our favourite TV<br />
shows for free via social media instead. Yes, you heard right. NBC has just<br />
signed a landmark deal with Snapchat to create original content and shows for<br />
the app’s audience. It will all kick off this autumn when hit franchises including<br />
The Voice and Saturday Night Live will premiere, as well as a host of brand-new<br />
programmes. This, of course, comes just months after the app streamed<br />
its first-ever film, Sickhouse. Videos of us using the lolling-dog-tongue filter<br />
aren’t really going to cut the mustard any more, eh?<br />
