We are making some changes to how we deliver our channel at the end of October.
Our catch-up apps – which we have run for the last two years but get very low usage – are closing so we can focus our efforts on delivering what you, our viewers, want. This is namely telly, delivered as telly.
In practice this means finding better ways of delivering live-streamed versions of our traditional TV channel, particularly on Freeview, and we hope in time more platforms.
