Streaming service Britbox comes to Amazon Channels

August 13, 2017 21.20 Europe/London By Robert Briel

Britbox, the subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) streaming service from BBC Worldwide and ITV, is now available on Amazon Channels in the US.

Prime members can subscribe to Britbox for $6.99 per month after a 7-day free trial, and gain access to thousands of hours of British programming with Amazon Channels. Britbox is the exclusive SVOD home to US premieres of UK programmes such as In The Dark, The Moorside, Mum, and the long-form adaptation of Zadie Smith’s NW. Also included are classic series like Poirot, Upstairs Downstairs, Miss Marple, and the largest collection of classic Doctor Who.

The service was launched last December, and also features a Now category that offers programs 24-hours after their UK broadcast – shows such as Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Papers, and DIY SOS, with more to come this fall.

“The initial rollout of Britbox earlier this year was met with a great response from British TV lovers and Anglophiles, surpassing our expectations,” said Soumya Sriraman, president, Britbox.

“As Britbox continues on an upwards trajectory, this expansion onto Amazon Channels will provide the opportunity to reach even more loyal, and potentially new, fans.”

Amazon Prime members can subscribe to Britbox with Amazon Channels, accessible through the Prime Video app on TVs, streaming media players, mobile devices, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and Fire tablets, or online at Amazon.com/amazonvideo.
