David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2, said: “The introduction of these fantastic new streaming channels demonstrates our ambition to continue enhancing our entertainment offering, giving our customers even more choice and 24/7 access to their favourite shows.

“Having launched 30 streaming channels in the last year alone, we are constantly striving to offer our customers even more entertainment, providing them with easy access to shows we know they’ll love, at no extra cost.”

The 11 will be added directly to the Virgin Media TV guide and complement the existing 19 FAST channels which includes three channels from Pluto TV (Catfish, CSI: New York and 5Cops) that Virgin Media O2 launched in March.
