The UKTV Network channels
Over the years there have been quite a few channels operating within the UKTV network. These are the ones operating in 2006 on the Sky Digital platform. They are all pay services, but I thought you might like some info about them. Details of the earlier channels may be added at some point.
All "UKxxxx" channels were rebranded "UKTVxxxx" on 8th March 2004, & on this date "UK Horizons" was axed, and replaced by "UKTV Documentary" & "UKTV People"
UKTV Style Gardens will launch on 23rd March on epg 144.
