New free streaming platform launching with TV favourites from BBC, ITV and Channel 4
Everyone TV, the company behind free streaming platform Freely, has announced a major deal with global streaming company Roku.
A new free telly channel is set to debut, featuring favourites from broadcasters such as BBC, ITV and Channel 4.
Everyone TV, the group behind the free streaming platform Freely, has announced a significant agreement with global streaming giant Roku.
In a massive leap for Freely's growth, the free streaming service will be accessible on the next generation of smart tellies powered by Roku's operating system.
Supported by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and 5, Freely includes all their live channels and players.
It also provides content offerings from GB News, U&Dave, and PBS America, reports the Express.
As if that wasn't enough, a launch later this year will see 16 new streamed channels showcasing programmes from UK public service broadcasters including The Chase, GPs Behind Closed Doors, Police Interceptors, The Yorkshire Vet, Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly and more.
Currently, Roku holds the top spot for telly streaming platforms in the US, Canada and Mexico, and has reached over 90 million households globally.
After launching in the UK in 2012, Roku TV models and streaming players have become available at all major retailers online and across the country.
Freely launched in April this year, and has given viewers the chance to binge more on demand content than any streaming service in the UK, with access to 97% of the nation's favourite shows.
Everyone TV's CEO, Jonathan Thompson, stated: "Offering Freely on the Roku operating system is a major milestone for us, as we continue to expand reach for the free streaming platform.
"We're delighted that as a huge global player, Roku has recognised the importance of easy and seamless access to public service broadcast content for UK audiences and I look forward to seeing Freely smart TVs with Roku in market this summer."
Roku's UK Country Manager, Richard Halton, added: "Roku believes that all TV will be streamed. We are excited to partner with Freely and continue our collaboration with UK broadcasters. Together we will bring the best content discovery experience to viewers across the UK.
"We look forward to unveiling our new Roku TV models with Freely built-in, which will be available from UK retailers this summer."
This month, Roku TV models with Freely will be available, starting with Sharp, Polaroid, and METZ.

Michelle Keegan's ‘really flattering' tassel co-ord is in the sale with £26 off
Michelle Keegan's latest holiday outfit caught our eye thanks to it's figure-flattering shape and stylish tassels, and the exact co-ord is currently on sale for £26 less If you've been looking for the ultimate summer outfit that is effortlessly glam while still feeling comfy and cool, Michelle Keegan has just given us some major inspiration and her exact co-ord is in the sale. Michelle has been sharing some holiday pics from her most recent getaway to Spain, and it's safe to say we're obsessed with all of her fits. But it was her tasseled blue matching set that caught our eye the most. The exact outfit is from Michelle's gorgeous summer collection with Very and includes the One Shoulder Knitted Tassel Top, now reduced from £35 to £28 and the matching Knitted Tassel Skirt, also reduced from £40 to £21. That's a huge £26 saving all together. The one-shoulder top has that perfect balance of structure and a relaxed fit. It skims in all the right places and features a cute knot detail on the shoulder. While the asymmetric hemline and tassel trim add a playful, summery twist that makes it feel that bit more elevated than your standard one shoulder top. Even Michelle herself raved about how the fit is 'really flattering' Paired with the matching skirt, you've got a dreamy holiday look that works for any occasion from sunset cocktails to a daytime brunch. The figure-hugging fit of the skirt shows off your silhouette without feeling too clingy, and the tassels bring some fun movement to the look. Not to mention tassels are right on trend thanks to the cowboycore renaissance we've been having. To style this co-ord we recommend teaming it with a pair of toe-ring sandals and some oversized sunnies, and you're good to go. Whether you've got a holiday booked or just want to bring some glam to your summer wardrobe, this is the kind of set that will reel in all the compliments. Another style moment we've loved recently comes from fellow actress Emily Atack. Emily recently praised Boden as the perfect place to shop if you've got bigger boobs. And the Paloma Jersey Maxi Dress, priced £98, is one of her current go-tos. The fit-and-flare shape is super flattering (especially if you've got a bigger bust), and the best part? It has pockets, so you can keep all your essentials secure without the need to bring a bag.
