LG Electronics announced Tuesday that it will add various networked content, including YouTube and CinemaNow, to its networked Blu-ray players starting next year.

The players are also Netflix streaming-enabled.

“From Blu-ray to instant streaming from Netflix to CinemaNow and YouTube, LG is bridging the gap between packaged media and video-on-demand services to provide entertainment solutions for consumers’ demand for content,” the company's director of product development, Tim Alessi, said as part of the announcement. “With these new alliances, LG continues its innovation leadership by allowing consumers easy access to multiple entertainment options in one device.”
