BT’s forthcoming IPTV service, BT Vision, has signed three more video on-demand agreements to provide further content to the next-generation service.

MTV, Paramount Comedy and Nickelodeon will provide content, giving BT Vision users on-demand access to titles such as Punk’d , Pimp My Ride, and Dirty Sanchez from MTV; SpongeBob Squarepants and Rugrats, and Comedy Central’s South Park offered from Paramount Comedy.

Michiel Bakker, EVP MD, MTV Networks UK and Ireland said: “This deal with BT Vision further reinforces our commitment to be available however, whenever and through whatever medium our audience want to connect with MTV, Paramount Comedy and Nickelodeon.

“Working together with BT Vision to harness the power of broadband complements our own advances in digital and ensures that our great content will be available for even more people to enjoy.”
