AMC Networks UK has revamped its CBS Catch Up Channels UK app so that it will be accessible across a wider range of devices. The app, which offers channels such as CBS Reality, Reality Xtra and LEGEND, has also been given a brand refresh.

Tanya Gugenheim, SVP, business development for AMC Networks International UK, said: “Our new app is a shiny new shop window for all our amazing content and the start of our exciting plans for the digital expansion of our channels, to broaden our viewer base and offer more choice to when and how people view our content”.

After originally launching on the Freeview Play, Freesat and YouView TV platforms, the Catch Up app is now also available via Android and iOS mobiles and tablets, Android TV, TvOS and Amazon Fire TV. Further streaming devices will follow in the coming weeks and a web player is on the horizon. In the next phase of development, the app will include a login functionality, which will allow the app to deliver a personalised viewing offering and seamless hopping from device to device.
