BBC Studios is expanding its suite of on-demand services and FAST channels across EMEA.
BBC Studios operates seven FAST brands, with 160 feeds, across 40-plus markets in EMEA, aligning with more than 15 partners. New launches bring BBC Player to Vodafone in Spain and Go Plc Malta, delivering up to 700 hours of content across multiple genres. The on-demand player now has a seven-country footprint in EMEA: Spain, Malta, Greece, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Poland. BBC Studios also has BBC Nordic+ in the Nordics and BBC NL+ in Benelux.
On the FAST front, four channels have arrived on MasOrange in Spain—Top Gear, BBC Series, BBC Earth, and BBC Lifestyle—and BBC Earth will expand to five new platforms with existing partners across the region this year.
Arran Tindall, president of EMEA, global channels and streaming, commented: “Digital and on-demand growth is central to our strategy at BBC Studios, built on accessibility and discovery of the BBC’s most iconic IP. BBC Studios has a portfolio of highly recognizable brands that travel seamlessly across platforms and formats, from FAST and OTT to pay TV. FAST channels allow audiences to rediscover beloved brands like Top Gear, while BBC Player offers premium, curated experiences. Together, these services showcase the depth and quality of our catalogue and strengthen our partnerships across the region. By working with long-standing partners and new platforms, we’re making world-class programming more accessible than ever, delivering premium factual content and fan-favorite series to audiences across EMEA.”
