The service will be available to all Australians through their mobile devices and measured through OzTAM’s video play measurement.

The announcement follows from Freeview’s pledge some years ago to offer a universal catch-up service.

Freeview CEO Liz Ross said: “For the first time globally, an FTA industry has united to create and deliver a powerful consumer experience. Freeview FV will deliver fantastic choice and convenience in one place, it is simple and-easy to-use, and it will meet the needs of audiences wherever they may be.

“From live streaming news and current affairs during the morning commute to catching-up on a favourite TV program on the way home, Freeview FV will completely revolutionise access to the free-to-air TV offering in Australia.”
