The service has also had its costs confirmed.
Both networks will open up their archive of owned content to BritBox viewers.
For £5.99 per month for the basic package, the joint venture will be the place to view shows recently broadcast on ITV and BBC including Love Island, Famalam, Cleaning Up and Gentleman Jack as well as bringing home iconic shows such as Gavin & Stacey, Victoria, Happy Valley, Broadchurch, Les Miserables, The Office and Benidorm.
BritBox claims that the service costs ‘less than other streaming services’ such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
