They might be the worst of enemies when it comes to football rights, but BT and Sky have signed a multi-year contract which will see Sky Movies made available through BT TV.
BT will offer Sky Movies for a monthly subscription that customers can add to their existing TV package from October 26, allowing BT TV customers to watch films across 11 Sky Movies channels – both as streamed live channels and on-demand for those with BT Infinity fibre broadband.
For customers with regular BT broadband Sky Movies is only available on-demand.
“We are pleased to extend the distribution of Sky Movies to BT TV customers,” said Rob Webster, director of Sky’s commercial group.
“Following the conclusion of commercial negotiations, BT’s customers can now enjoy access to the UK’s most popular subscription movies service. In helping even more UK homes enjoy Sky Movies this agreement also supports our wholesale content business.”
Sky Movies premieres in October include Argo, Django Unchained, Les Miserables and Gangster-Squad
