BBC Worldwide Press Releases

UK History/Freeview launch

Press coverage last weekend suggested that the launch of UK History on Wednesday's Freeview launch depended on "settlement of a dispute with the History Channel". This is incorrect.

While there has been press coverage of debate between UK History and the History Channel, there were no issues (regulatory or otherwise) preventing Wednesday's launch of UK History.

As we confirmed on 7 October 2002, UK History forms part of a joint venture between BBC Worldwide and Telewest which has been fully approved by DCMS.
