YouView Snapshot
YouView’s aim is simple: bring together online media and the traditional broadcast services into a single, easy to use product that makes connected television an everyday viewing experience. This is being delivered through a range of YouView set-top boxes and ‘companion’ applications for third party mobile and tablet devices. Backed by household names and major UK media players such as BT, Talk Talk and the BBC, YouView is changing the way millions of people across the country watch television.
Back in 2012 some of the UK’s leading broadcasters and communications companies came together to talk about television and how we could make it better.
Everyone agreed there were frustrations – like missing a great show, or never being able to find something to watch – so we decided to do something about it. We combined simplicity and value with choice and convenience. No fuss, just a superb viewing experience. YouView was born.
Since then, we’ve unlocked a world of content and services for over two and half million households, combining Live TV and On Demand and cutting edge technology to bring our viewers the most brilliantly simple way to find and watch the TV they love.
As a joint venture between BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, BT, TalkTalk and Arqiva, we’re naturally collaborative and open source – doing whatever it takes to transform and improve the daily viewing experience of UK audiences.
