Accedo extends All 4 to Now TV

August 15, 2017 10.15 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Swedish video experience company has extended Channel 4’s redesigned video on demand service All 4 to additional platforms including Now TV on Roku.

The updated All 4, initially launched on Fire TV last year, is now available across the UK on Now TV/Roku, Samsung Connected TVs, Amazon Fire, PlayStation 3 and 4, Freeview Play, and Freesat.

“Our viewers are increasingly consuming content on a wide range of devices alongside the traditional linear programming model,” commented Keith Underwood, Channel 4’s Director of Strategy and Technology. “For us it is extremely important that we deliver great content in a compelling way to as many devices as possible, where we know we have viewers with a huge appetite for high-quality, public-service content. Having a dedicated team of technical Accedo staff on hand to work with us to develop and deliver this service is extremely valuable. It gives us insights, agility and a development velocity that we need in this fast-growing market.”

Accedo developed the Now TV user experience using the recently released Roku SDK 2.0 development tools. It then combined these with its own suite of solutions.

“A great user experience is crucial for any video content platform, and building something which not just looks good and works well but makes the user feel truly engaged and immersed is key to a platform’s success,” commented Adam Nightingale, SVP International, Accedo. “It is refreshing when customers, such as Channel 4, place a great deal of importance on getting the UX right from the outset. The result is an extremely appealing service which we’re delighted to have worked on so closely with Channel 4.”

Accedo will be exhibiting at IBC 2017 (Amsterdam 15 to 19 September).
