Radio Times has launched a Radio Times DiscoverTV App, a new daily TV and radio recommendations and discovery service; helping you discover your new favourite programmes today wherever they are – on TV, catch-up or on-demand.

A free limited service is available without subscription with easy-to use, 14 day customised TV and radio listings, by provider and location, and basic programme information.
The Radio Times DiscoverTV launches initially on iPad and will then be rolled out across other mobile and tablet platforms, with enhanced functionality, thereafter. It is available on iTunes for £2.99 a month or £28.99 a year.
