Two more ISPs launch YouView bundles

YouView combines broadcast channels with broadband delivered content
Broadband customers living on the Channel Islands and in within the KC coverage area of Hull and East Yorkshire can now get a free YouView box from their local broadband providers.

Jersey and Guernsey residents can now obtain a YouView box as part of a bundle from local ISP JT.

In a statement Barna Kutvolgyi, M.D of JT’s Global Consumer Business, said the firm was “delighted to introduce YouView exclusively into the Channel Islands’ market as a cost effective alternative to subscription based TV services and as an enhancement to existing free-to-air TV.”

Customers will have a choice between a 500GB and 1TB YouVIew box as part of a bundle starting from £34.99 per month.

Hull and East Yorkshire broadband customers served by KC can opt for a new ‘KC TV’ bundle which includes a free 500GB box.

Customers of YouView shareholders BT and TalkTalk can already enjoy YouView as part of bundles which include additional premium content.

Launched in July, the £70m project is also backed by the UK’s major free to air broadcasters and offers catch-up TV alongside broadcast channels on a single box.
