The United Kingdom has a new option to watch live television from its free-to-air broadcasters.
Freely TV debuted this week, bringing streaming versions of the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5’s linear broadcast channels to streamers across the U.K.
The Freely TV app is now available on smart TVs sold throughout the country, and is intended to help Britain’s free-to-air broadcasters embrace the trend of TV consumers moving away from traditional forms of TV consumption toward digital platforms like streaming.
In addition to offering linear content channels from Britain’s public service broadcasters, Freely TV serves up thousands of TV shows and movies from the on-demand catalogs of the participating TV networks.
Freely TV is the first app that offers streaming channels from all four main public service broadcasters.
