BT Pacts with VICE Media for its Lifestyle & Entertainment Channel

British Telecommunications (BT) has entered into a deal with VICE Media to show VICE on TV, the company’s youth-oriented lifestyle and entertainment channel.

The agreement, which goes into effect March 11, will bring VICE on TV to BT TV and the channel’s content to the BT Player and the BT TV app. Among the programs on offer will be the second season of Slutever that features Karley Sciortino covering all things sex, gender and love. Also available will be the new two-hour nightly hot topics and trends show VICE Live.

Further, BT customers will gain access to VICE’s catch-up content and a selection of library programming, including documentary Hate Thy Neighbour, dance docuseries My House and The Trixie and Katya Show hosted by the titular drag icons. VICE shows will also be available on the BT TV app.

Andy Haworth, managing director for content and strategy for BT’s consumer division, said: “Our partnership with VICE Media gives BT customers a range of brilliantly diverse, engaging and original shows on VICE to add to our exciting TV offering. VICE joins a brilliant line-up of the world’s best partners and unrivaled content for BT TV customers—from services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, NOW TV and BBC iPlayer to world-class sport, drama and entertainment through BT Sport, AMC and UKTV.”

CJ Fahey, general manager of VICE TV & Studios in EMEA, added: “We are delighted to have inked a new partnership with BT, meaning that our new TV channel has now reached full distribution across the U.K. and makes our content available to even more viewers. We look forward to working in partnership with BT to grow our audience and allow viewers to access our programming across a range of platforms and services.”
