Australia’s Nine has bolstered the FAST lineup on 9Now with BBC News, which joins a raft of other BBC Studios services on the platform.
BBC Comedy, BBC Food, BBC Home & Garden, Top Gear, and Antiques Roadshow are all available as channels on the free streaming platform.
Nine’s director of 9Now and programming, Hamish Turner, commented, “9Now is strengthening its commitment to trusted journalism. The addition of BBC News complements our 9News lineup, delivering a deeper global perspective. At a time when misinformation is prevalent, we are proud to provide Australians with a 24-hour window into the world’s most important stories.”
Robi Stanton, president for APAC media and streaming at BBC Studios, added, “We’re pleased to grow our FAST channel offering with Nine. Alongside the existing suite of BBC entertainment and factual channels already on 9Now, the launch of BBC News marks an exciting step forward in delivering additional BBC content and trusted journalism to even more Australians.”
