Fox International Channels UK and Arqiva are today launching Fox UK’s first free-to-air entertainment channel, YourTV.

The female-skewing network, the first Fox UK channel to launch in 11 years, will air across the UK for 20 hours each day from 07:00 to 15:00 on the Freeview, YouView, Freesat and Sky platforms.

The channel will be broadcast in standard definition and will be available across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Arqiva’s national commercial multiplex.

“We are thrilled to be working alongside Arqiva to announce the launch of YourTV. The move not only marks our first free-to-air channel but an exciting next step in the evolution of our UK brand portfolio,” said Jeff Ford, managing director, Fox International Channels UK.

Arqiva already provides Fox UK with a managed service for digital terrestrial television (DTT) capacity, contribution and playout, and started working with the firm in 2010.

Fox announced the launch of YourTV last month.
