Freesat has completed the line-up of on demand services for its Free Time platform with the addition of Channel 5’s Demand 5.
It joins existing on demand and catch up services 4oD, ITV Player and BBC iPlayer.
Emma Scott, Freesat’s Managing Director commented: “Every week, more than four million viewers enjoy their favourite TV on Freesat. The launch of Demand 5 further bolsters the catch up TV set for Freesat Free Time viewers, joining BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, YouTube and the recently launched 4oD.
“As the consumer appetite for video on-demand grows, Freesat now offers viewer access to the four largest UK catch-up TV players, which account for 80% of long form on-demand viewing today. We’re delighted that Freesat viewers can now enjoy all their favourite catch up TV in one place, for free.”
Freesat’s Free Time platform launched last Autumn, and brought new features to Freesat, including a backwards guide that lets viewers ‘turn back time’ to watch programmes that have already been on, a new Showcase section providing TV recommendations and enhanced on-demand and recordings.
