STV Player Launches On LG TVs Across The UK
STV has teamed up with LG Electronics (LG) to bring its no-cost streaming platform, STV Player, to LG televisions nationwide.
The service, which hosts a broad line-up of live and on-demand content from around the world, is now available on LG TVs, projectors and monitors operating on webOS 25 and above.
The partnership with LG — a global leader in consumer electronics — meaningfully extends STV Player’s distribution. Through LG’s intuitive webOS interface, smart TV users will gain straightforward access to STV Player’s extensive catalogue.
Richard Williams, Managing Director of Audience (Video & Technology), STV, said: "It's hugely important for us to have STV Player easily accessible on the platforms and devices that matter most to viewers, so this landmark partnership with one of the UK’s most treasured TV brands is a significant step.
"Every day, millions of households across the UK consume entertainment via an LG TV, and STV Player’s wide-ranging catalogue of free content is now at the fingertips of this crucial customer base. We’re delighted to be collaborating with LG and look forward to exploring more opportunities to grow our partnership in the future."
In Scotland, STV Player serves as the streaming home of Channel 3 network content. Across the UK, it also features UK originals and international drama box sets, sport and factual programmes — much of which isn’t available to stream elsewhere.
