Freeview Play home to over 40,000 hours of on-demand content

The amount of on demand content available on the Freeview Play platform has increased by 10,000 hours since 2021.

Freeview Play says it’s home to 95% of the UKs most-watched shows, and provides access to over 80 live TV channels and ten on-demand players; BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5, UKTV Play, CBS Catchup Channels UK, Horror Bites, STV Player, POP Player and BBC Sounds.

Available content includes Peaky Blinders, now in its final series, Love in the Flesh, Married at First Sight Australia, The Ipcress File and The Curse.

It is a vital line for UK broadcasters looking to hold their own against the likes of Netflix and Disney+.

Owen Jenkinson, Marketing Director at Freeview Play commented: “Freeview Play just keeps getting bigger and better. Over the past few months alone more live channels have been added to the platform, such as W channel, and BBC Three, and our on-demand offering is now an incredible 40,000 hours strong. Free TV has never looked so good”.

Since launching in 2015, Freeview Play has sold over 15 million devices, and has over 11 million regular users.
