Together TV has partnered with Red Bee Media to launch the U.K.\u2019s first social-purpose streaming service.<\/p>\n
Programming on the platform connects to genre-specific resources and campaigns. For example, those watching a gardening series will be encouraged to \u201cChannel Your Inner Grower.\u201d There, viewers will find more information about the Sunflower Challenge, a behavioral change campaign to improve well-being and reduce social isolation through gardening.<\/p>\n
Together TV\u2019s catchup service will act as an extension of its linear channel. The programming will include factual-entertainment and thought-provoking documentaries, in addition to original content created from the annual Diverse Film Fund initiative.<\/p>\n
The streaming service is free to use, and input is based on the established free-to-watch advertising model used by ITV Hub and All 4.<\/p>\n
