In an Australian first for BVOD platforms, 9Now will put users in control of their viewing experience, offering a converged experience combining the simplicity of broadcast TV with the convenience and interactivity of digital, Nine announced at its 2023 Upfronts today.

The viewer-focused upgrade to 9Now will include a new homepage that allows users to dive straight into the live content stream; a “start over” option that takes viewers back to the start of any live program; personalised household profiles and a new discover page; the introduction of new 24/7 Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) channels with exclusive additional content; and interactive advertising experience on connected TVs (CTV) – all offered live in full HD.
