Adrenaline sports channel EDGEsport has been added to the STV Player.
The 24-hour channel will offer free access to motorsport, mountain biking, BMX, skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding.
STV Player already has Freesports, which offers Pro14 Rugby, Premier League Pool, MLS Major League Soccer, World Rally Cross, Cage Warriors, NHL Ice Hockey, Seria A, Formula E and Nascar. Another channel, Joe Media, schedules magazine-style sports programmes.
Richard Williams, managing director, digital at STV, said: “We’re thrilled to have EDGEsport on board with their impressive access to a brilliant range of live action sports events and premium content from across the world.
“Scotland is a nation of sports fans so we’re constantly striving to ensure this audience is spoilt for choice on the STV Player – and I’m confident we’re delivering. We’re kicking off February with this exciting new offering from EDGEsport alongside live streams from what promises to be a lively Six Nations competition.”
John Grabowski, commercial director at EDGEsport, said: “EDGEsport is a unique offering for action sports fans, and expanding our distribution into Scotland and UK-wide with STV will allow fans to watch all of their favourite sports with new and great events being added all the time. We are excited to launch and bring the STV audience the exclusive premiere of ‘A Dog’s Life,’ a mountain biking series with Brendan Fairclough, on Saturday 1st February and we will continue to bring top action sports to STV throughout the year.”
