BritBox UK and Virgin Media O2 have announced that Virgin TV customers can enjoy access to the best of British creativity, as the BritBox app is now available directly through their latest set top boxes.
Millions of Virgin TV homes will now be able to access the best of British entertainment, starring the finest home-grown talent, including the likes of Broadchurch, Downton Abbey, Vera, Only Fools and Horses and Love Island. BritBox also offers exclusive original content including the hotly anticipated second season of period drama Sanditon – launching next week – and Hugh Laurie’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? , which will be available to subscribers from mid April.
With BritBox now available on Virgin TV, customers who subscribe to the streaming app can tune in to a host of brilliant British programmes, with new shows and films added every week so there’s something for everyone.
From the launch of ITVX later this year BritBox will also be available to Virgin TV customers within the premium tier of the new ITVX app on Virgin Media O2’s TV platform.
Tom Price, BritBox UK’s Commercial Director
We are thrilled to bring BritBox to Virgin Media customers, building on the multi-year partnership ITV and Virgin Media announced last year. Launching Britbox on Virgin Media means that even more customers now have easy access to the best of British entertainment, including original dramas Magpie Murders and Murder in Provence, and just in time for Sanditon Series 2.
David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2
