BRITBOX UK REACHES HALF A MILLION SUBSCRIBER GOAL

BritBox UK has announced that it's hit its target of half a million subscriptions.

ITV’s chief executive Carolyn McCall said: "It’s been a great first year on BritBox, with all of the UK PSBs on board and the launch of our BritBox Originals strategy with Spitting Image. Achieving half a million subscriptions in little over a year from launch puts BritBox ahead of plan and firmly establishes the service in the UK OTT market."

Most-viewed content on the service since launch has included the likes of Broadchurch, Only Fools and Horses, Love Island, and the collection of over 600 episodes of Doctor Who Classic which are only available to stream on the service.
