STV Player Pacts with all3media international for 1,000 Hours of Content

STV Player has signed a deal with all3media international that will see the VOD service add an additional 1,000 hours of content to its Player-exclusive lineup.

The first batch of programming will feature such titles as Ultimate Force, Field of Blood, Wild at Heart and Linda La Plante’s Commander. The agreement also includes programs aimed at a younger audience, including Chrisley Knows Best and Undercover Princes and Princesses. These titles will go live on STV Player before February 2021.

Once all titles from the all3media international deal are uploaded, the STV Player will offer over 2,500 hours of Player-only content with seven live channels.

Richard Williams, managing director of digital at STV, said: “We’ve swiftly built an impressive catalog of high-quality content to rival VOD services across the U.K. Our partnership with all3media international will bolster our content across genres, enabling us to explore and release large parts of their catalog over a 24-month period, constantly refreshing our Player-only offering. We’ve had an exciting year of accelerated growth and our unprecedented viewing figures show us that this approach is delivering.”

Mike Gould, partnerships manager at all3media international, added: “We are thrilled to be working with STV in this exciting new partnership, bringing such a range of high-quality content to the STV Player. The all3media international catalog continues to engage and entertain VOD audiences around the world, and this deal is another example of our pursuit to reach users wherever they consume content in the digital space. We’ve been highly impressed with STV’s ambitions for 2021 and beyond, so I have no doubt this will be the start of a long and fruitful partnership together.”
