Metrological forecasts Comcast acquisition

Metrological, a Netherlands-based platform to integrate over-the-top video into pay TV that is backed by cable company Liberty Global, has been acquired by mass media group Comcast, according to NScreenMedia.

Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Metrological has built an application platform that facilitates the integration of premium and niche over-the-top content into a single television viewer experience.

The company has partnered cable and telecommunications firms such as Liberty Global, KPN and Tele Columbus to reach more than 40 million households.

Metrological appears to have only raised one funding round in 2013, when Liberty Global Ventures, the corporate venturing division of Liberty Global, injected an undisclosed amount.
