Yesterday Lisa Nandy set out the intentions for the new government to work hand in hand with the TV industry to secure the future of public service broadcasting.   “I want the work we do together to lay the foundations for and secure the future of public service broadcasting until well into the second half of this coming century.”   “Never underestimate the power of Derry Girls, All Creatures Great and Small or Queer as Folk. These are shows that go hand in hand with notion of public service broadcasting.”   “Just think what we will create. Through us doing our bit and you doing yours. With a new relationship based on respect for one another. A television industry that leads the world and is the pride of all of Britain. Thriving well into the latter half of this Century. That is what we will build, together."   Everyone TV is here to play its part in ensuring that public service broadcasting doesn’t just survive but thrives, securing the long-term health of free TV and its future for the streaming era.   You can read the full speech here: https://lnkd.in/dQdDHgcV Department for Culture, Media and Sport #FreeTV #Broadcasting #PSB #PublicServiceBroadcasting #Streaming #LisaNandy #DCMS #NewGovernment

Latest data from Ampere Analysis reveals that Freely gives viewers access to over 70,000 hours of on demand content for free, more than any major SVOD in the UK including Netflix, Disney+ and Apple TV+. This vast catalogue of the best of British television exists alongside countless hours of streamed live TV, uniquely integrated into the service. “The results of this research indicate that Freely's extensive catalogue is highly competitive in size when compared with major streamers in the market. Additionally, it offers consumers a unified and simplified experience for accessing broadcaster content, which is increasingly important in a competitive and fragmented market.” - Lottie Towler, Principal Analyst at Ampere “At its heart, Freely is about championing access to British content for British audiences." "The new platform brings together local, originated programming that champions UK talent and UK stories.

This month their on demand service U will be available on the platform, alongside streamed live channels U&Dave, U&DRAMA, U&W and U&YESTERDAY, adding a wide variety of high-quality titles for audiences to stream. “We’re delighted that our free-streaming service U and portfolio of free-to-air channels, recently united under the U Masterbrand, are joining the Freely line-up. It further supports our audience-led strategy, ensuring our viewers can easily access UKTV’s content in a digital world.”  - Jonathan Newman, General Manager, Commercial, UKTV For the first time, for free, the U live channels will be available to watch over Wi-Fi, without the need for a dish or aerial. https://lnkd.in/eJYTcGZG #FreeTV #Streaming #UKTV #Freely

"The direction of travel is that more and more homes are spending more time streaming. An increasing number of households are effectively internet only and not connecting an aerial to their TV. It’s around 20% of homes today but that share is forecast to grow to half of TV homes by the end of this decade.” - Jonathan T., CEO, Everyone TV Find out more about how Freely is securing the future of free TV at IBC - International Broadcasting Convention.
