VICE box sets now available on All 4

14 September 2018

Today sees the first VICE box sets available on Channel 4’s on-demand service, All 4.  This is the first release of more than 900 hours of VICE’s award-winning long-form content, previously only available on subscription TV services, which will be available to view on demand in a VICE branded hub.

Titles now available on-demand include Jamali Maddix’s documentary series Hate Thy Neighbour; Michael K Williams’ investigation into illicit trade, Black Market; an in-depth series exploring the tattoo scene Needles and Pins; and F*** That’s Delicious, featuring the life and eating habits of “rap’s greatest bon vivant”, Action Bronson.

The VICE hub is available on the All 4 app across Channel 4 owned and operated platforms including iOS and Android devices, on big screens such as Amazon Fire TV, Freeview Play and Samsung TVs, as well as games consoles and online at Channel4.com.

Channel 4 is promoting this major partnership with 30, 40 and 60 second ads in-stream on All 4 and on social media.

Richard Davidson-Houston, Head of All 4, said: “This is the first time that All 4 has hosted a third-party publisher. Today marks the next stage of All 4’s evolution from being a catch up service to becoming a destination in its own right. VICE and Channel 4 share a commitment to giving voice to the unusual and the unexpected and we are really enjoying working on this partnership together.”

CJ Fahey, General Manager, VICE TV and Studios, EMEA said: “We are delighted to be launching our VICE curated hub on All 4 today. Channel 4 is a great partner for us as we continue in our commitment to increase the reach of our content and find new audiences across a range of platforms and windows. Both Channel 4 and VICE are committed to bringing untold stories and new voices to a wide audience and we are looking forward to reaching even more viewers with our acclaimed and unique programming.

This partnership follows an initial third-party licensing agreement between VICE and Channel 4 which saw four titles available on the All 4 platform for a limited time earlier this year.
