The broadcaster has enjoyed significant growth across its portfolio of channels –
Dave celebrated its second most successful week in the channel’s history last month, averaging a 1.64% share in week 22.

UKTV’s CEO, Darren Childs commented “The UKTV network currently reaches over 42 million viewers a month and this agreement with YouView will make our award-winning programmes and channel brands available to even more viewers.

“Providing a catch-up service for our free-to-air channels on YouView is an important step for us, ensuring we give viewers the ‘anytime, anywhere’ access to our channels and programming that they want.”
