UKTV is replacing its Freeview plus one channel Dave Ja Vu with paid-for lifestyle channel Really.


Really, which launched in May 2009 to target young women with shows such as Tool Academy, Bizarre ER and Snog, Marry, Avoid, will bolster UKTV’s free-to-air presence from 2 August.

It will join existing Freeview channels Dave and Yesterday, which respectively cover the entertainment and factual genres for UKTV.

Really will air from 8am-2am and continue to be available on Sky and Virgin Media.

Darren Childs, chief executive of UKTV, said there would be further investment in the channel further to the shift in distribution.

“We’ve already got the two leading channels in the genre – Home and Good Food. By securing a free-to-air slot for Really and investing considerably in its content, we are confident UKTV will continue to dominate the genre,” he said.

The channel is managed by Clare Laycock, interim director of lifestyle and channel head of Really, with its shift to Freeview overseen by UKTV’s interim controller Christian Drobnyk.

Freeview channel guide - retune required 30/06/11?

Even though the Freeview channel guide, may not be the best official source, as there are number of inaccuracies, they do however indicate to retune on 30th June to continue watching Dave Ja Vu.

However, I do think this is a mistake, but I could be wrong, but it was required to do a retune on 30/06/10 to continue watching Dave Ja Vu as it moved from Mux D to Mux C.

The other mistakes are ITV2+1 on LCN 33, which by 1st April 2011 (where this guide is dated from) has already moved in January to LCN 27; strangely suggests it to be on LCN 27 before switchover, so a move to LCN 33 after switchover?

Wales 06:00 to 19:00 is noted by *** but to no channel; however, we know that should be attached to Challenge - I wonder it was attached to Channel One - that's been removed correctly, but so has the appending note?

Sky Three and Sky Three +1 are still included even though the Pick TV logo is displayed on the 1st page. Shockingly still, despite closing on 1st February 2010, Lottery Xtra is still on the list.

Seemingly, this is a case of copy and paste for most things from Spring 2010, but additions such as Challenge and Capital FM and Channel 5, Five*, 5USA logos and CNN has been removed - despite the placeholder still being available.
