  • UKTV is a digital cable and satellite television network, formed through a joint venture between BBC Worldwide, a commercial subsidiary of the British Broadcasting Corporation, and Virgin Media. It is one of the United Kingdom's largest television companies. UKTV's channels are available via satellite and cable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. In the UK, Yesterday and Dave are available on Freeview, and selected parts of GOLD, Home and Good Food are available through Top Up TV. Most programmes on UKTV's channels are repeat broadcasts of BBC productions (although the entertainment channels also feature programmes made by other companies), and the channels themselves are played out by Red Bee Media from their broadcast centre in west London. UKTV cuts programmes (mainly documentaries) for commercial timing on the UKTV's factual channels. The UKTV channels have broadcast in widescreen since 31 January 2008, although some programmes made in 16:9 format are screened in the compromise 14:9 semi-letterbox ratio as until then UKTV still bought programmes in 4:3. Virgin Media is currently in talks, with a number of interested parties, to sell its 50% stake in UKTV. Bidders include Scripps Networks, Discovery Communications and Channel 4. Channel 4 is the least interested party, and Discovery have made offers that have been rejected. BSkyB is also said to be interested. BSkyB have worked with BBC Worldwide before, as BBC Worldwide hold distribution rights to many of Sky's original commissions, such as Mad Dogs, Mark Billingham's Thorne and Chris Ryan's Strike Back. BBC Worldwide holds first refusal rights and can exercise control over who buys the stake.
