Everyone TV

Everyone TV creates value by providing common distribution infrastructure, standards and platform management for free-to-view television in the UK across terrestrial broadcast, satellite and IP streaming. It coordinates channel line-ups, electronic programme guides, technical standards and platform certification for devices, ensuring that public service broadcasters and other free-to-air channels can reach UK audiences reliably via aerial, satellite dish or broadband-connected televisions. For IP delivery, it provides an aggregated app and guide that combines live streams and on-demand catalogues from multiple broadcasters.

Revenue and funding primarily come from its public service broadcaster owners, who treat platform costs as part of their distribution expenditure. Additional value is created through commercial agreements with broadcasters and manufacturers around EPG placement, technical integration and branding on TVs and set-top boxes, and through enabling advertising monetisation (including addressable and dynamically inserted ads) for broadcaster channels on the IP platform. The company itself does not position its services as a paid consumer subscription but as a shared distribution layer for broadcasters and device partners.

Everyone TV (formerly Digital UK) is a UK-based company owned by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 that operates the country’s main free-to-view television distribution platforms. It runs the digital terrestrial platform, the free-to-air satellite platform, and an IP-delivered streaming service that aggregates live channels and on-demand catalogues from the UK public service broadcasters and other free-to-air channels, distributed via compatible televisions and devices.

The company is structured as a company limited by guarantee rather than a conventional for-profit entity. Its operations are funded by its public service broadcaster owners and by commercial arrangements with broadcasters, device manufacturers and platform partners. Direct end-users (UK TV households) access the services without subscription fees; Everyone TV’s direct counterparties are broadcasters and hardware/OS partners that rely on its platforms for nationwide free-TV distribution and associated advertising reach.
