LG TV owners are in for a treat this holiday season as LG has announced a significant enhancement to its LG Channels platform. This update, now available on select LG screens, offers a range of new features and additional free content, including shows from Sky such as Sky Sports Stories, Sky Sports Vault, and Sky Sports Classics, all accessible without a subscription. The update also includes the addition of the Sky News channel to the free lineup.
Moreover, the upgrade introduces more content options like LG1 Christmas for festive entertainment, the FIFA+ Women Channel for soccer enthusiasts, and the DP World Tour for golf fans. These new channels, like all LG Channels, are part of the FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) services, so viewers can expect to see advertisements during programs.
In addition to the new channels, the update brings overall improvements, including personalized content recommendations and a revamped user interface aimed at making it easier and quicker for users to discover content. A new “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, commented, “LG Channels is designed to give users seamless access to high-quality, engaging content. With the latest upgrade — from our new logo to enhanced personalization features — we’re making everyday viewing more intuitive and enjoyable for millions of users worldwide.”
