by

In a major platform upgrade, BBC Player has integrated a brand new feature that allows subscribers in Singapore and Malaysia to watch selected BBC channels live, in addition to streaming their favourite British programmes on demand. With expanded access to BBC’s live channels, BBC Player now offers subscribers unparalleled options to watch their favourite British content.

BBC Player is an authenticated multi-genre SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand) streaming service that allows viewers to stream a curated line-up of popular British programmes from world-class documentaries, premium British dramas, popular comedy and entertainment shows to aspirational lifestyle programming and engaging children’s shows.

This brand new feature will give subscribers with eligible StarHub, Singtel, Astro TV and Unifi TV subscriptions access to watch their favourite British programmes both live and on demand on a single platform.

Catch new documentary premieres like Attenborough and the Jurassic Sea Monster, most recent landmarks series Planet Earth III and older favourites like Life Below Zero on BBC Earth. Brimming with vibrant, fresh and trend-setting programmes, BBC Lifestyle will offer new episodes of Grand Designs, Jamie Cooks The Mediterranean and The Great South African Bake Off S4 to look forward. On CBeebies, parents and carers can trust in globally popular shows like Bluey, Hey Duggee and Thomas & Friends to keep their preschoolers entertained.

BBC Player will also continue to give subscribers access to stream premium and award-winning British dramas including Happy Valley, Blue Lights and Time on BBC First, as well as popular comedy and entertainment shows such as Top Gear, Mr Bean and The Office (UK) on BBC Brit.

Sporting a vibrant new look, BBC Player has also rebranded from its previous blue theme to an invigorating pink palette across all touch-points within the interface from the sign-in page to icons and loading screens on the website, app and Android TV platforms.

BBC Player is currently available online (www.bbcplayer.com) and as an app, via Apple App Store and Google Play Store for Android devices.
