The Boomerang service will initially work only on Apple and Android phones and tablets and on computers. The cost is $5 a month. It'll eventually be available for TVs through streaming gadgets like Apple TV and Roku. The service launches in a few months.
The app draws from the same libraries as the Boomerang TV channel but its videos won't match the network's lineup.
The app isn't part of a cable subscription like popular TV apps such as HBO Go or WatchESPN. Instead, it's like CBS All Access, an app version of CBS, which starts at $6 a month.
