Carolyn McCall, ITV's chief executive, say:"The agreement to launch BritBox is a milestone moment.
"They are also happy to pay for this ease of access to quality content and so BritBox is tapping into this, and a new revenue stream for UK public service broadcasters." "We now look forward to working together to launch the largest collection of British boxsets ever - bringing the very best in past, present and future British programming and award-winning content to viewers all in one place," added Ms McCall.More than 12 million UK households have at least one streaming service and figures from the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board show the number of homes with one is growing by 20% annually.
PAY NOTHING
Nope
Do not subscribe
Instead of TV licence?
Sign this on the license fee everyone
Shit box do they really think people will pay for this when half the country are cancelling the tv licence?
I’d rather shit in my hands and clap
Sounds like......
Are they intending to make progs with licence money then charge to watch or will they be repeating progs we have already watched and paid for thru tv licence in the end there is so much competition Netflix and prime etc that it’s too late
Do now they expect us to pay a licence fee and a subscription. I’d rather pay Netflix than BBC gangsters
More importantly does this mean the end of bbciplayer as most shows can already be caught up here FREE to the licence payer
Right so they are using my tax to make programs and have the cheek to try and charge me for it?
No Thanks
Will last 1 year this.
It’s the repeat channel.
I pay a licence fee, that should pay all bbc services.
Wierd this The BBC earn their money through tv licences, which enable us to watch their many platforms!. Has this been funded with that money? And if so why?
greeneyedk8 Bbc already get their benefit money from people. Do one
No way would I use this
Scrolled onto this again. Just FO
Pay to watch bbc repeats? No thanks
No thanks. Already paying for my sky subscription
So we v payed once to watch a load of repeats via a tax ( TV licence) and on BBC I player . Now we pay to watch them again . Sorry I'm missing something here.
Does it work in France?
I'll stick with my iptv
Tv license BBC Why would I then pay more ? Baffled
Please people don't pay for this
It’s called a license fee 🤷🏼♂️
No thanks BBC Brussels Broadcasting Corporation
No thanks
So we pay for a bullshit bbc license and now they want more £££ nah this has got to fail 😂😂😂
15 years to late bell ends.
Nothing on Netflix
I'll get my paint, happier to watch that dry
Great pay £6 to watch what already have seen on tv just a year later 🤔 sounds like a great idea 💡
More bloody repeats and you have to pay for the privilege!
Lol I can practically hear their fear from here.
Time to get those videos down from the loft.
We already pay for a TV licence? Are the BBC scrapping the iplayer? This is a disgrace and a slap in the face after removing the free tv licence for 75+ boycottTheBBC
How can the BBC be charging for content that is paid for by the licence payer, so really they get paid twice.
Stick it where the sun don’t shine
So I have to pay £5.99 to watch shows I currently watch for free via iPlayer and Hub?
How can a state funded company compete in a subscription market! Sounds like something for the competition committee
ActionBrexit immediately boycott this venture as we have no intention of giving MSM any more of our money to spend on “fat cats” while pedaling EU propaganda
HD it’s UHD 4k nowadays FFS!
Should be named shitbox
No thanks they can keep the Brit box this Brit ain’t wanting that. I’ll stick to sky and Netflix.
Nope not buying already pay a tv tax
Not an effing chance in hell
Hopefully that will see the end of the license fee going to the BBC.
BoycottTheBBC BoycottITV BoycottSky BoycottChannel4
It's a no from me, i want nothing to do with anything involving the corrupt BBC.
No offence ITV but bbc can shove it.
Rival Netflix? Good joke 🤣
I hope there is no bbc programmes on this box has licence payers have allready payed for it.
No thank you, I already pay (reluctantly) for the BBC.
Does this mean we can ditch the dreaded license- if we are only streaming
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh BBC.
The bbc should be ashamed trying to get more money out of the public when all they dish up is crap
If the BBC is going to do original programming for a subscription service why the hell should I continue to pay the license fee!
BBCNews BBC gets us to pay for content through compulsory licencing, only to charge us again for content WE the taxpayer funded! Laughable. Completely Highwaymanesk daylightrobbery skynews tvlicence BBCBreaking bbc5live UKGovTweets UKMediaWatch
We are already obligated to pay for BBC why would should we be expected to pay extra?
This is obviously free to people who pay for a TV licence or this is theft. We have already paid for the BBC content!!! Criminals
VPNs and you're good to go
If I wanted to spend all day watching ITV and BBC repeats I'd just watch, err, ITV and BBC
All bbc should be subscriber service now
Scrap the licence first!!!! ScrapTheLicenceFee 😡😡😡😡
Wow... Can't wait for all the blickbusting boxsets..... Some mothers do have em.... Are you being served.... Till death us do part..... All for only £5.99 lol deluded lol
Except you can only stream UK crap
Have you noticed that all contents on Netflix are not just primarily American or european? Netflix provides global contents service. How global the BritBox would compare is still to be seen. Hopefully not just primarily local content service..
Shit
Iptv £24.99 a year and get every channel possible with no tv licence needed.
Hahaha no ta
greeneyedk8 So loads more repeats then ...
£72 a year, good saving on the BBC TV tax of £154 a year.
ITV working alongside fake news & shitty lefty propaganda. All most like they want to kill there channel working with BBC & £5.99 😂😂 I wouldn't touch it if it was free to watch 😂
Ooh I can't wait to watch neutered BBC comedy, unfunny itv comedy involving 'celebrities' and reality shows. The occasional good documentary isn't worth the price of admission.
If they put classic shows on their like “it ain’t half hot mum! “ I might take a look at it. But they won’t do that as it upset the snowflakes!
More like shit box!
More money going in the bbc kitty and they have the nerve to ask our pensioners to pay for a tv license.Anyway it will be stuff that you already paid for and as for itv most of the stuff they put out is naff
Complete waste of time, paying for repeats
No way thanks
I will pay that if tv licence is scrapped
It’s believe it’s only $5.99 in the US, so why more expensive in the UK ?
I'm guessing this funded by the TV license payer so why is it not free?
An optional additional payment to the biased bbc on top of the tv tax? That’ll be popular..
No thanks!
Why, it’s free already?
Doubt many will sign up... Beeb wasting license-payer money on this shit
Rival netflix? 🤣 Hollywood can’t compete so why would this?
No thanks. Get rid of TV licence then we can talk....
Brit box What about Paki Box If one is racist then the other is also
Pay more for there repeats think not
So screw the pensioners for a tv license an then try n screw the rest of the public fo a payed service on top of their license fee 😡😡
so we have to pay again to watch programmes that were made using licence fee money ?
What’s the point!!!
So the BBC is not renewing free tv licences for over 75s because of cost but it expects people to choose to pay £5.99 for old repeats. The tv licence is outdated and should be abolished abolishtvlicence
Brexit box.
So what money was used on the BBC side to fund this...Ahhh taxpayers money...what an easy business model they have
NBCNews too heared the grace 1 captain got arrested has destinated to syria now the oil tanker becomes delivered in gibraltar spain once found guilty he will sended to penitentiary of central america panama towed grace 1 along with tugboats
I think it's too late - both have lost the trust of the public.
More Repeats, not interested...Zzzzz
£5.99 for fake news and left wing propaganda, no thanks.
I’ve had BritBox for over a year and had high hopes that it would get better but the programs are basically, bad soaps, bad older films, lots of flowers and a few seasons of past panel shows. Also, they have the disgusting Piers Morgan so I’ll be canceling.
“Fake News” in a box 📦
BBC name is attached. Nope
Might as well scrap the TV licence and keep this
Sounds racist and non inclusive to me.
Most of it gets to Drama channel/Itv3 eventually - unless they stop that happening!
Pff
Surely the bbc half should be free, we already pay them once.
It will fail miserably !
Never beat Netflix
Aren't folk playing into fascist capitalist occupiers hands? They: Occupied BBC Use it for THEIR politics/profit Demand funds/power or they ruin it 'ban the bbc'/'don't pay the license' enables them to destroy it/buy bits cheap/charge for new services! RE-OCCUPY THE BBC!
But , BBC has always been pay per view
is if they use BBC funds to do this we are going to have to pay twice for the drivel that the BBC push as content ...... erm no thx
Don’t we already pay for the BBC so shouldn’t we get this for free
My old saying comes into play here. “ If the cry dont buy “ and BBC and ITV are the biggest whinging lying toads going.
Can we ditch the licence fee now then
No need for the TV licence then 👍
If it’s primarily owned by ITV then why does it say by BBC and itv, surely it should be itv and BBC...🤷♂️
Another platform for 3rd rate repeats, WW2 jingoism on a loop and costume dramas. No ta.
This aint gonna last
🤮
How many screens?
BritBox what a naff name
As long as all the BBC content is available on iPlayer at the same time they can crack on
I’ve been waiting for this.
Good ! I’ll cancel my license then
Finally UK stepping up there game.
Scrap the tv tax.
