BritBox streaming service

BritBox is a British over-the-top video-on-demand streaming service that offers a vast collection of British television series and films. Launched in 2017 as a joint venture between BBC Studios and ITV, the service has expanded its reach to multiple countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and several European nations. In March 2024, BBC Studios acquired ITV's 50% stake in BritBox International for £255 million, making it the sole owner of the service. This strategic move allows BBC Studios to consolidate its position in the global streaming market and provide a more extensive range of British content to its subscribers. The acquisition also included extended licensing agreements with ITV, ensuring continued access to a wide array of British programming. As of 2024, BritBox boasts over 3.75 million subscribers and an enterprise value of approximately £500 million, reflecting its growing popularity and the increasing demand for British television content worldwide.
