Scale

Britbox, the streaming video on demand channel from the BBC and ITV now has 400,000 subcribers in the USA and Canada. That's up from 250,000 at the end of February.

Yanks pay $6.99 a month; it's $8.99 in Canada.

BBC Studios CEO Tim Davie shared the new figures in an interview at the International Broadcasting Conference in Amsterdam. What news of a possible UK SVOD collaboration between the BBC, ITV and C4 ? "We have nothing to announce, we're always talking".

Netflix has 124 million paying subscribers in over 190 countries; 9.1m are in the UK, around 57m in the USA. Last month Netflix added the C4 version of The Great British Bake-off to its catalogue, starting with last year's series.
