STV Player has announced it is available to consumers on NOW TV Boxes across the UK.

Those using a NOW TV Box within STV’s licence area in Scotland can enjoy STV content via live stream or catch-up, with programmes ranging from top drama Grantchester, popular soaps Emmerdale and Coronation Street, and hit entertainment shows such as Britain’s Got Talent.

Consumers in the rest of the UK can live stream brand new channel STV2 or catch up on their favourite shows on their NOW TV Box. STV2 launched last month with a new and distinct schedule including popular Irish soap Fair City, weekday magazine show Live at Five and the first integrated Scottish, UK and international news programme, STV News Tonight.

Audiences across the UK can also catch up on original STV Player content, such as classic crime drama Taggart and Rebus, along with STV’s flagship news and current affairs coverage.

Rémi Brunier, STV Player product owner, said: “With STV Player content now available on NOW TV Boxes consumers are able to access STV and STV2 programmes, both live and on demand, on 15 different platforms.

“We continue to work with a range of partners to make sure STV content is available to consumers anywhere and anytime they want it.”
