ITV is to launch a revamped website which will offer live streaming of all its channels and the chance to catch up on missed programmes 30 days after they have originally aired.

The site, which the broadcaster said would be launched in the next couple of weeks at ITV.com, will not require any downloaded software and will be free to access.

ITV executive chairman Michael Grade said: “Today we are combining the best of TV with the best of the web to create a service unrivalled by any other commercial broadcaster, anywhere in the world.”

The broadcaster said it had commissioned exclusive made for broadband content for the site and said there would be a user-generated news section called Uploaded, where members of the public will be able post their own comments or eyewitness accounts of news events.
