will be on the service at launch or shortly after their licensing deals with rival SVODs end. BritBox will also commission original content from British production companies specifically created for BritBox. The first new show is expected to be commissioned soon and will be available to viewers from 2020.
Carolyn McCall, CEO of ITV, said, “The agreement to launch BritBox is a milestone moment. Subscription video on demand is increasingly popular with consumers who love being able to watch what they want when they want to watch it. They are also happy to pay for this ease of access to quality content and so BritBox is tapping into this, and a new revenue stream for UK public service broadcasters.”
“ITV and BBC have made, and continue to make, the programmes that both reflect and shape British culture and creativity. We now look forward to working together to launch the largest collection of British boxsets ever – bringing the very best in past, present and future British programming and award-winning content to viewers all in one place. We are already working together on BritBox in the US and Canada and this is proving to be very successful, exceeding its targets.
BBC Director General, Tony Hall, added, “We have a world beating TV industry with outstanding content. The BBC and ITV are at the centre of that. Together, we have been responsible for delivering the majority of “must see” moments on British TV over the last decade. That must see content will now be on BritBox. But this service isn’t just about the past. I am really excited about the new shows it will commission.
