Today, Showtime Networks announced that Showtime ANYTIME is now available on Google Chromecast streaming devices through the Showtime ANYTIME iOS and Android mobile applications.

SHOWTIME subscribers can go to Showtime ANYTIME on their mobile device, browse the hundreds of hours of programming available for on demand viewing, choose their favorite program to cast and then begin watching directly on their TV.

Chromecast transforms mobile devices into a personalized remote control. For example, while using the Showtime ANYTIME mobile app, subscribers can control volume and video playback on the TV directly from their mobile devices
