Previously only offered to unifi TV&#8217;s Ultimate Pack subscribers, BBC Player will launch to more than 2 million of unifi&#8217;s broadband subs for free for 30 days beginning on September 18.<\/p>\n<p>BBC Studios has also unveiled\u00a0<em>Got Science?<\/em>, presented by Malaysian comedian Harith Iskander. The show will become available on BBC Player at the same time as its BBC Earth premiere on September 11 at 8:05 p.m. Other programs offered on BBC Player include\u00a0<em>Donal&#8217;s Asian Baking Adventure<\/em>, <em>Patrick Melrose<\/em>, <em>MasterChef UK<\/em>, <em>Blue Planet II<\/em> and <em>The Graham Norton Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Shiotani, the VP of content for Asia at BBC Studios, commented: \u201cMore and more, viewers are going to online platforms in search of interesting programs to watch. The Malaysian audience on BBC Player has steadily grown since the service launched in early 2017, signaling an increasing appetite for our content online. Dramas like <em>Victoria<\/em>, lifestyle programs like the award-winning <em>The Great British Bake Off<\/em>, our blue-chip natural-history programs like <em>Blue Planet II<\/em>, and the ever popular irreverent <em>Top Gear<\/em>, consistently top the charts as the most-watched programs by unifi\u2019s Ultimate Pack subscribers, on both BBC Player and unifi TV. It is evident that BBC content resonates with Malaysians and their families, who are looking for high-quality, intelligent programs. We are glad that we are now able to offer these programs to a wider base of Malaysians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BBC brand is synonymous with quality and trust,\u201d added Emily Wee, the VP of business and media operations at unifi TV. \u201cThese are the same traits our customers expect and demand from us. We are happy to be in collaboration with the BBC to meet the diverse needs of our customers by providing a compelling suite of BBC channels as well as access to top-rated British content via BBC Player.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC Studios and unifi TV have revealed that the BBC Player service is becoming available to 2 million more subscribers in Malaysia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":5013,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[422,1032,1170],"class_list":["post-5012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-player","tag-bbc-studios","tag-unifi-tv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
