Sky Glass Channel Additions

Sky have made improvements to its Sky Glass service, the dish free service based around its streaming TV.

The most significant change is the addition of 9 channels that had already been available on Sky’s satellite platform, but we’re absent when Sky Glass first launched. These are:

    • Bloomberg
    • Colors HD
    • Colors Rishtey
    • Colors Gujrati
    • GB News
    • NBC News Now
    • TalkTV
    • Zee TV
    • Zee Cinema

Where available, these channels will be HD by default.

Other improvements include the inclusion of YouTube within voice control functions, and a single login process for all BBC services such as BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.

Colors and Colors Rishtey Join Sky Glass

Sky Glass, the streaming service from Sky based on their specialist TV, has seen the addition of two international channels, Colors and Colors Rishtey.

ABS Broadcast worked with IndiaCast Media Distribution to fast-track the launch of the two channels, owned by Indian joint venture Viacom18.

Despite being a product from satellite provider Sky, Sky Glass offers a more limited selection of channels than the satellite based service. Although structured in a similar way, two different sets of channel numbers are also used.

Colors and Colors Rishtey are the first additions to the Sky Glass platform since it launched.
