Record and STV announce digital partnership

The Daily Record and STV have announced a digital partnership to bring the STV Player to the Record's desktop, mobile and tablet audience.

Anyone living within STV’s licence areas in Scotland can catch up with STV favourites including Downton Abbey, Coronation Street and The X Factor alongside the Record's news, features and sports content.

The partnership is the result of collaborative development work and design between the Record and STV digital teams.

Allan Rennie, editor-in-chief of Media Scotland, publisher of the Daily Record, said: "This is an innovative digital partnership that brings together the best of the Daily Record with the best of STV. We are two iconic Scottish companies with a lot in common and this partnership will reinforce our positions as the nation's leading publisher and broadcaster. Our readers and the STV audience get the best of both worlds - brilliant programmes and lots of previews, interviews and gossip."

Bobby Hain, Director of Channels at STV, said: “This exciting deal continues to strengthen STV's multi-channel offering and reinforces our commitment to make our content widely available to our audience, free of charge. It is great that Scots can now catch up with their favourite STV programmes on the Record's popular digital platforms.”

The Record's desktop and mobile versions remain free while tablet subscribers will pay no extra charge for the service.

The new partnership is being supported by a multi-platform campaign in the Daily Record, SundayMail and 20 other Media Scotland titles.
