Sky Customers Will Be Able To Access BBC iPlayer As Part Of New Partnership

Date : Feb 03, 2012

 

A new partnership deal has been agreed between BBC and Sky. The new deal will see BBC iPlayer become available to millions of subscribers this year. This means that viewers can enjoy a completely free addition to the current service, giving unlimited access to a vast library of BBC programmes. Customers needn't worry about missing their favourite shows again, as they will soon be available at the click of a button.

 

This move marks an important step forward for BBC, who aim to make their iPlayer service available to mass audiences the world over. With the service already available on other huge platforms such as Virgin Media and BT Vision, iPlayer is now available to even more people. The free service was launched in 2007 as a way for viewers to catch-up on BBC shows for free online. By simply logging on, thousands of programmes and radio shows were available free of charge. This is an important move for Sky, as there'll now be even more choice for their customers.

 

It is estimated that customers with the Anytime+ service in their homes will have access to BBC iPlayer within the next month. So if they miss the latest EastEnders episode, they can catch-up whenever they like. The Anytime+ service is accessible for free, but only for subscribers with an HD+ Box and Broadband Unlimited. Existing customers can upgrade to the HD+ service for an extra £10.25 per month to get this service, and new customers can enjoy huge discounts by signing up online.
