UKTV History may return - Reply from UKTV

SophiesMum: An e-mail reply - interesting stuff. What's the e-mail address?????? Or where did you locate it? has anyone else contacted them this way?


Hi SophiesMum,

I just followed the "Contact us" link at the bottom of this page (Just scroll down to see it...)

My advice to anybody who posts on this forum regarding the change in broadcasting hours, should also email UKTV History using the supplied link.

They do seem (I say that gingerly) to be listening...

Keep up the pressure folks!

UKTV History may return - Reply from UKTV

Hi All,

I contact UKTV via email and here is the response I received:

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your comments. UKTV History's broadcasting hours have changed to enable the new entertainment channel "Dave" to broadcast from 7am-3am. Whilst we have very many loyal UKTV History fans who we value hugely, based on viewing behaviour to our various channels in pay homes, we believe that "Dave" will appeal to a wider spectrum of viewers on the Freeview platform.

We are making efforts to restore the UKTV History evening schedule to Freeview homes and hope to reinstate them soon. We acknowledge your concern and are keeping all comments relating to the changes to UKTV History on Freeview.

Regards,

UKTV History

Bring back UKTV History to Freeview 24/7 !!!

Why did you take it away? Angry

"Dave" is a poor replacement for UKTV History.

"Dave" only seems to show repeats from BBC2, these are already being shown on BBC3/4, so no need for more of the same. Confused

Please bring back UKTV History to freeview 24/7

Its a shame my first post has to be a moaner :(
