UKTV's channels are available via satellite and cable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
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 (formerly BBC Broadcast) and played out from their 'Broadcast Centre' in West London.
