Virgin Media UK Add 3 More Rakuten FAST TV Channels to Service

Customers of broadband provider Virgin Media (O2), specifically those who also take their Pay TV services via their TV 360 or Stream (Flex) platforms, may like to know that the ISP has today added support for three new Rakuten TV based FAST channels to their TV service “at no extra cost” – Rakuten TV Drama (Ch 462), Comedy (Ch 463) and Sci Fi (Ch 464).

VMO2’s David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer, said: “We know that amazing content and value are a priority for our customers, and the launch of these exciting new streaming channels provides exactly that – unmissable entertainment, including great Hollywood blockbusters, at no extra cost. From drama to comedy and everything in between, our line-up of streaming channels offers something for everyone, and these exciting additions will provide our customers with everything available from Rakuten TV, all in one place”

As usual, all the new channels will be visible using Virgin Media’s TV guide and searchable via voice control. Virgin TV customers can also access hundreds of related TV episodes and movies on demand via the Rakuten TV app, which is accessible via the Virgin TV app store. The platform now carries a total of 40 FAST channels.
