UKTV agrees on-demand, channels deal with BT Vision
Quote:
UKTV, the BBC Worldwide and Scripps Networks-owned broadcaster, has today announced a major deal with BT Vision to offer TV channels and video on-demand content on the IPTV platform.
Under the three-year agreement, BT's around 640,000 television customers will be able to access video on-demand content from UKTV channels on a subscription or pay-per-view basis.
The on-demand service brings content from Really, Eden, Good Food and Home, including James Martin's Mediterranean, Choccywoccydoodah, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Celebrity Fantasy Homes, Tool Academy, Bridezillas, Amazing Planet and Life on Fire.
Later in the year, UKTV will also start streaming its linear channels to BT Vision set top boxes, starting with entertainment network Watch, comedy channel Gold and drama network Alibi. UKTV intends to offer further channels, including Good Food, Eden and Home, on the platform in future.
This marks UKTV's first ever deal with an IPTV platform, and follows the broadcaster's wide-ranging agreement with Sky last year for video on-demand and HD channels on satellite.

At last another competitor to keep VM and Sky on their toes
Interesting that there could be more to come

Yes having more competitors is a good thing and hopefully the other competitors will also have something to announce soon.
