UKTV has acquired MasterChef Australia to premiere on its pay TV channel Watch.
The Australian spinoff of the popular BBC Two series will receive its UK television premiere on Watch in January 2010 before playing out on another of UKTV’s pay TV channels, Good Food, from May 2010.
"We are thrilled to have secured the hugely successful Australian spinoff of MasterChef," said UKTV's director of programme acquisitions Catherine Mackin.
"Not only does it guarantee fresh and exclusive new content for both Watch and Good Food, but it also reinforces UKTV’s position as a one of the UK’s biggest acquirer of quality international shows."
