Brit Box and Bbc

itv: Brit Box will mainly feature archive BBC and ITV shows, alongside new British commissions made especially for the service, according to The Guardian. There were no details on pricing; the announcement said it would be competitive . However, Brit Box will not have the latest BBC and ITV shows, which will remain available through the catch-up BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub services. Netflix is eating into the market share of traditional broadcasters, as audiences increasingly desert established channels and expect shows to be available instantly on streaming services. Other broadcasters are expected to join the service later, with Channel 4 known to have taken part in discussions, which were revealed by the Guardian last year. The publicly funded BBC would not comment on whether it was putting a similar amount of money into the project. ITV has pledged to invest up to 65m in the joint venture over the next two years.
