LG TV owners are in for a treat this holiday season as the renowned Korean technology giant has unveiled a significant upgrade to its acclaimed LG Channels platform. The enhancement includes a plethora of new features and an array of additional free content, featuring shows from Sky.
The recent update, which commenced rollout this month, grants owners of select LG screens access to Sky Sports Stories, Sky Sports Vault, and Sky Sports Classics without the need for a subscription. Moreover, LG has also integrated the Sky News channel into its free lineup.
But the good news doesn’t end there. The upgrade introduces a variety of new content options, such as LG1 Christmas for festive entertainment, the FIFA+ Women Channel for soccer enthusiasts, and the DP World Tour for golf aficionados.
These new offerings, like all LG Channels, are part of the FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) services, ensuring that viewers will encounter advertisements during their viewing experience.
In addition to the expanded channel lineup, the update brings about broader enhancements, including personalized content suggestions and a revamped user interface aimed at streamlining the process of discovering new content to watch.
A novel “Quick Access” feature allows viewers to access channel information, the TV guide, favorites, and popular content instantly by pressing the “OK” button on the LG Magic Remote while watching a program.
Chris Jo, Head of the webOS Platform Business Centre at LG Media Entertainment Solution Company, emphasized the platform’s commitment to providing users with seamless access to top-notch, captivating content. Jo highlighted that the latest upgrade, from a new logo to enhanced personalization features, aims to make everyday viewing a more intuitive and enjoyable experience for millions of users worldwide.
