NEW YORK, NY - Sept. 15, 2015 - CBS Corporation today announced the availability of CBS All Access, the CBS Television Network's digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service, on Google's smart TV platform Android TV.

CBS All Access subscribers can also use the service on their Android and iOS devices via the CBS App, online at CBS.com, through Chromecast, Roku players and Roku TV, with additional connected devices being added in the coming months.
"We've seen a tremendous response from users on the connected device and mobile platforms we've brought the CBS All Access service to thus far," said Marc DeBevoise, Executive Vice President and General Manager, CBS Digital Media.
