Sky adds catch up shows from Channel 4’s All 4 service to mobile apps, giving customers even more of their favourite TV to watch whenever and wherever they want
Sky is to increase its on demand service, with even more great shows from Channel 4’s digital hub All 4, now available on Sky Go and Sky Q mobile apps. Customer favourites from Gogglebox to Hunted and Made in Chelsea are just some of the All 4 programmes available for customers to catch up on whenever they want.
The new shows join the existing All 4 archive and box set programmes currently available on Sky’s mobile platforms. And the addition comes as programmes from E! Entertainment Television, Syfy and Universal Channel were added to Sky Go and Sky Q apps earlier this year, continuing to make the experience of watching whenever and wherever customers want even better, with up to 70 entertainment channels available live and on demand.
The intuitive design of both Sky apps makes it quicker and simpler for customers to find and watch the latest episode of their favourite All 4 series. Whether it’s watching love blossom in First Dates, getting a daily update on the going-ons in Hollyoaks, or simply binging on popular box sets like Peep Show, This Is England and Misfits.
Luke Bradley-Jones, Brand Director of TV and Content Products, commented: “It’s fantastic that customer favourites from All 4 have been added to Sky Go and Sky Q mobile platforms, showing our commitment to giving customers even more of the best TV in a way that’s easy and flexible, to fit into their lifestyles. So find your phone or tablet, log in, and catch up with June and Leon in the latest episode of Gogglebox wherever you are.”
Carl Pfeiffer, Head of Distribution, Channel 4, said: “We are delighted to be able to bring catch-up from All 4 to Sky's mobile apps, building on the classic Channel 4 shows that we already make available.”
Further features rolling out in the coming months will make Sky Go and Sky Q mobile apps even better and put new programmes from Sky Atlantic, MTV, ITV, Channel 5, and now All 4, at the heart of customers’ viewing experience.
Sky’s mobile apps are used by millions of customers around the UK and Ireland, with over 86 million views of live and on demand TV in September 2016, as customers watched their favourite shows from The Night Of to Ex On The Beach and Peppa Pig.
Sky’s mobile apps continue to get better and better, giving customers the very best in TV shows, movies and sport to watch wherever they are at home or out and about, live and on demand. The introduction of All 4 shows and future updates are all part of Sky’s continued commitment to innovating on its mobile platforms, which put both live and on demand TV at the heart of Sky Go and Sky Q apps.
