UKTV launches branded On Demand players

UKTV has revealed plans to launch bespoke VOD services for its three free-to-air channels, Dave, Yesterday and Really.

UKTV's curated services will provide access to both catch up and archive programming that can be viewed via the network's branded channel websites.

The news follows UKTV's recent video on demand agreements with TalkTalk, BT Vision and Sky Anytime.

Darren Childs, CEO UKTV, said: "UKTV is investing more money in content than ever before and it is important we are servicing our viewers by enabling them to access Dave, Yesterday and Really directly for the very first time, through our On Demand Players—three vibrant and curated, direct to viewer, player services.

Dave and Yesterday will launch in early October. Both channels will undergo a beta testing period, enabling viewers to provide feedback before they fully launch later this year. Lifestyle channel Really will follow suit in late October.
