BBC iPlayer, ITV Player to launch on Sky Anytime+

The BBC iPlayer and ITV Player TV catchup services are to be available to BSkyB subscribers for the first time via the Sky Anytime+ video-on-demand offering.
ITV archive content, including Prime Suspect, Lewis and Cold Feet, will be available via Sky Anytime+ from Tuesday, 31 January.
The full ITV Player seven-day catchup service allowing access to the latest episodes of shows such as Coronation Street and Emmerdale will follow later in the year.

The BBC iPlayer will also be added to Sky Anytime+ later this year, giving Sky Anytime+ users access to the latest instalments of EastEnders. BBC archive content is already available on the VOD service via Sky’s existing deal with UKTV.
Sky is also extending the reach of Sky Anytime+ by making it available to all Sky+ HD homes with a broadband connection, across all internet service providers.
As a result more than 5 million Sky homes will soon be able to access the VoD service. Sky Anytime+ is currently available to 1.2 million Sky Broadband customers.
