YourTV was a television channel owned by Fox Networks Group, a unit of Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International. It began broadcasting on 1 October 2015 in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[1]
History
On 3 September 2015, Fox International Channels announced they were going to launch a new, free-to-air channel in the UK.[2] YourTV promised "sensational real-life stories, irresistible experiences and thrilling tales".
The channel launched on 1 October 2015 on Freeview, YouView, Freesat and Sky. It launched on Virgin Media on channel 218 on 21 July 2018. YourTV +1 was also launched on 1 October 2015 on Freeview channel 78 but only broadcast for a couple of hours. It moved to 73 a while later before being removed. YourTV continued its programming as a regular channel. However, in 2019, Disney decided to consolidate YourTV's programming into the main Fox channel's schedule, [3] with the channel closing down at 12pm on 27 September 2019 with its Sky slot being taken by Sky Two.
