BT Sport to join Chromecast line up

British Telecom (BT) Sport has confirmed that it will join the list of content partners available on Chromecast, Google's media streaming device.

BT's broadband customers now have a new way to watch the BT Sport App, adding to the already existing options to watch BT Sport along with BT TV and the Sky and Virgin Media platforms.

Chromecast, which retails at just £30, allows customers to ‘cast' video to their television from the BT Sport App on a tablet or smartphone.

"Customers with Chromecast will be able to enjoy the BT Sport App, which is free with broadband from BT, on a large screen, allowing them to cast a Barclays Premier League match to their TV, rather than watching on a smaller screen," said Pete Oliver, managing director, Consumer Commercial and Marketing.

From April 7, the 'cast' button will appear in the BT Sport app on Android and iOS devices. Chromecast is a small dongle that works with any television with a standard HDMI port.
