Rolling news screens to be installed on London Underground

Transport for London (TfL) and Exterion Media have announced a UK-first partnership with Euronews, one of the most watched news channels in Europe, to bring ‘bespoke’ live news content to London Underground. 

The video content will be curated, designed and created by Euronews, Exterion Media and TfL and will run across Exterion Media’s new channel of full-motion dynamic DX3 screens, which display cross-track projections.

The 60 HD screens will carry ‘positive’ London, local and international news across 15 stations, reporting on sports, technology, weather, business and lifestyle updates and keeping consumers entertained and informed as they travel across the London Underground.

Exertion Media say a recent survey identified a demand for news content on journeys. The research showed that 69% of Londoners want to see news and current affairs content whilst travelling through the city, with this number rising to 71% in 16-34-year-olds.

There will be an initial phase in which audience response will be assessed to ‘inform commercial opportunities for brands, such as content sponsorship and adverting alignment.’

Richard Simkins, Creative Solutions Director at Exterion Media, said: ‘In our world of 24-hour content, this is an exciting industry development for taking broadcast news to the Tube.

‘We know that Londoners are spending more time away from their homes, with four million people using the Tube every day.

‘Our full-motion DX3 channel is an unrivalled way to distribute premium, entertaining video content to this audience and enhance their journey experience.

‘Looking ahead, we are confident about the new advertising and commercial opportunities this partnership with Euronews will unlock for advertisers.’

Jenny Delcambre, Head of Global Out-Of-Home Partnerships, Euronews, said: ‘Our partnership with Exterion Media and TfL will deliver our daily dose of curated news to London audiences as they travel around the city.

‘The opportunity for engaging this valuable audience is matched by the capabilities of Exterion’s DX3 channel for broadcast.’

Chris Reader, Head of Commercial Media at TfL, said: ‘This partnership shows how advertisers can use our DX3 screens to create more memorable moments for our customers and we hope passengers enjoy this content as they travel through our stations.

‘Our new digital platform displays are one of the many ways we’re transforming our advertising estate to make it more attractive for brands and raise vital revenue that can be reinvested in modernising the transport network.’
