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 consists of ten channels - Watch, G.O.L.D., Dave, Alibi, Yesterday, Blighty, Eden, Home, Really and Good Food Channel.

UKTV currently operates 19 broadcast streams when multiplexes (+1s) and broadband are taken into account, and a highly successful website. The success of UKTV is based on its programming including award-winning shows from the BBC and an increasing number of original commissions and acquisitions as well as original on-line videos.

The network’s unique relationship with the BBC gives it a ‘first look’ at its programmes for secondary broadcast in the UK. The network is dedicated to providing a quality channel platform environment for the best content producers, including some of the UK’s top independent programme makers.
