LG TVs in the UK are finally bringing back missing BBC apps, including iPlayer, BBC News and BBC Sport, fixing their absence after LG failed to renew its deal with Freeview Play for its 2020 TVs. A press release from the manufacturer said that “LG Electronics UK is pleased to announce that all BBC streaming apps are now live on its 2020 TV lineup. The BBC iPlayer app will automatically appear in the webOS launch bar from this week, and the BBC News and Sport apps will be available for download via the LG Content Store. We're told the update will be coming to all 2020 LG TVs, including OLED and LCD models, though a handful of UK update apps are still missing, including ITV Hub, All 4 and My5 on the webOS smart TV platform. .

Freeview Play is usually available as standard on LG TVs in the UK, or at least in previous years. However, there seems to have been some kind of hiccup this year with the release of the 2020 models without support for the Freeview Play app, which brings together UK catch-up apps and live TV in one convenient place. An LG representative told us that "LG is currently in discussions with other streaming apps to bring them to 2020 LG TVs and we will update them in due course." We anticipate that it's in everyone's best interest to bring other apps to UK viewers, although you're lucky the issue hasn't interfered with older LG TV models, which means those of you who bought an LG bundle in 2019 still have access to the full suite. remediation applications. This isn't the only misstep for app support this year, as Panasonic TVs still don't support the Disney Plus streaming service, though we also expected this to change in the coming months. to upload.
