Foxtel upfront focuses on delivering content on any platform

Foxtel’s unveiling of its plans for 2014 have offered a focus on both new technology to provide viewers with viewing on any platform they like and new content.

The upfronts presentation held in conjunction with its  subscription TV sales house Multi-Channel Networkin Sydney last night included the launch of an enhanced electronic program guide that will give viewers access to programs broadcast up to 26 hours earlier via streaming.

The capability made available from today through Foxtel’s internet-connected set top boxes iQ will be rolled out across the country over the next few weeks.

Foxtel chief executive Richard Freudenstein said the ability for viewers to view what they want will further improve with the launch of the new iQ3 set top box next year.
