UKTV is a major industry player and one of the most important and successful multi-channel providers in the UK. Formed in 1997, it is an independent commercial joint venture, between Virgin Media and BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC.
Attracting 36.5 million viewers each month, the network offers a broad range of quality programming across its entertainment, lifestyle and factual offerings – Watch, G.O.L.D., Dave, Alibi, Eden, Blighty, Yesterday, Home, Really and Good Food.

UKTV currently operates 17 broadcast streams when multiplexes (+1s) and broadband are taken into account, and complementary websites for every channel brand. The success of UKTV is based on its programming including award-winning shows from the BBC and an increasing number of original commissions (currently 750 hours a year) and acquisitions.

All ten UKTV channels are available on Sky Digital and Virgin Media, with Dave and Yesterday also on Freeview.
