Fetch TV adds 7+ app

A new 7plus app has been added to Fetch TV devices along with the integration of its internet-delivered linear broadcast channels into the Fetch EPG.

Fetch customers who do not have access to free-to-air TV via an aerial can now access Channel 7, 7two, 7mate, 7Bravo and 7flix directly from the guide.

Seven has also introduced a second virtual playlist channel, 7+ Showcase, on Fetch with drama content from Sony, NBC, Disney, and ITV Studios.

The 7plus channel features reality and true crime content from content partners including NBCUniversal and Warner Bros Discovery.

Seven Group Managing Director, Digital, Gereurd Roberts, said: “After growing more than 30% this year, 7plus is set for a massive 2025 and our expanded presence on Fetch will only add to our growth story, giving Fetch TV’s customers new ways to connect with our great content.

“7plus is the market leader in free video on demand and FAST channels and it will go into 2025 with a powerful line up of new content. The arrival of AFL and Cricket on 7plus means that, for the first time, the two most popular sports in Australia will be available to stream, for free and live. The ‘7plus First’ strategy for overseas drama programming will see a premium new series launch on 7plus every single month across all of next year.

Richard Henson, Director Distribution & Content Partnerships at Seven Network, said: “The growth of 7plus is underpinned by its premium content library and first-run exclusives, as well as Seven hits such as Farmer Wants A Wife, The Voice, Australian Idol and My Kitchen Rules; overseas drama series; exclusive content; and the most streamed drama in Australia – Home and Away. Seven pioneered FAST channels in Australia and 7plus now has more than 50 channels, with more to come. The audience viewing of our FAST channels has jumped more than 30% this year, with streamed minutes growing 84% year-on-year.”

“Our expanded relationship with Fetch TV opens up new opportunities for Australians to enjoy the great content on Seven and 7plus.”

Fetch TV Chief Content and Commercial Officer, Sam Hall, said: “Providing easy access to quality free content has always been a central tenet of the Fetch customer proposition. Our strategy around content aggregation is to ensure that Fetch viewers can easily access the content they love in the way that best suits them, and our expanded relationship with the Seven Network opens up new opportunities for us to do this. Fetch viewers can now watch Seven content via their choice of traditional broadcast, IP feeds and virtual playlist channels in the TV guide, or via our new 7plus app.”
