		</div><p>British broadcasters BBC and ITV have confirmed plans for a joint UK streaming service in the wake of competition from the likes of Netflix and Amazon.</p>
<p>They said that talks for the service, to be called BritBox, are “in the concluding phase”.</p>
<p>It is expected that others will join the service, to put British boxsets and original series, on demand, in one place.</p>
<p>The broadcasters said it would boast the biggest collection of British content on any streaming service and will feature “old favourites”, recent shows and new commissions produced specifically for BritBox.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/9C1066A1-17B6-4B0F-99BA-5DC1CBA63C49.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-126832" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/9C1066A1-17B6-4B0F-99BA-5DC1CBA63C49.jpeg" alt="" width="1094" height="1010" /></a></p>
<p>ITV chief executive Carolyn McCall said: “BritBox will be the home for the best of British creativity – celebrating the best of the past, the best of today and investing in new British originated content in the future.”</p>
<p>BBC Director-General Tony Hall said the streaming service would be “truly special”.</p>
<p>“A new streaming service delivering the best home-grown content to the public who love it best,” he said.</p>
<p>“The service will have everything from old favourites to recent shows and brand new commissions. It’s an exciting time for the viewing public.”</p>
<p>The service is expected to launch later this year.</p>
<p>The cost of subscriptions has not yet been revealed.</p>
<p>The BBC and ITV said they have enjoyed success with their BritBox streaming service in the US.</p>
