UK Style was launched on 1st November 1997. Along with the rest of the network, the "UK" prefix was changed to "UKTV" on 8th March 2004 and is thus now known as UKTV Style
The channel is available on Satellite (BSkyB) and Cable platforms. A partial service is available on digital terrestrial television through the Top Up TV pay-tv service.
This channel shows lifestyle programmes (mainly gardening and DIY shows) that are a combination of internally produced shows and repeats of shows from the BBC archive. Before the launch of UK Food, it also showed many cookery programmes, however these now all reside on the new channel.
