BT has announced a new content partnership with VICE Media which sees its lifestyle and entertainment channel brought to BT TV.

VICE on TV, a youth-oriented lifestyle and entertainment channel, will give BT TV customers access to a variety of ground-breaking documentaries and award-winning series from Monday 11 March. Programmes on offer include Karley Sciortino's exploration of sex, gender, love and everything in between in the second series of her hit show 'Slutever', and the new two-hour nightly show 'VICE Live', covering all of the latest hot topics and trends from around the world.

VICE shows will also be available on the BT TV app that now gives customers the ability to download and access content on the go as well as access to a range of TV platform.
