MUMBAI: US broadcaster NBC has announced that its NBC.com app for iPad now offers fans full episodes -- mirroring the online experience.
Additionally, the network‘s co-viewing application, the NBC Live app, has upgraded with a number of key new features, including the ability to watch video clips, play games and scroll through photos without ever leaving the app.
With these new features the NBC Live app is set to make the broadcasts of ‘The Office‘, ‘The Sing-Off‘, ‘The Biggest Loser‘ and ‘Chuck‘ interactive experiences.
