Discovery Networks is launching its reboot of the TLC brand in the UK on April 30.
Positioned as an entertainment channel where the ‘relatable meets the remarkable’, Discovery is describing the tone of the channel as playful, humorous and passionate.
Susanna Dinnage, SVP & general manager, Discovery Networks UK, said: “TLC is a unique entertainment channel that brings together a huge range of characters from the UK and US. It is full of stories that will get people talking and we hope it will become part of the rich and varied TV culture in the UK. It is unlike any other channel in the UK and will provide advertisers with an exciting new opportunity to target female audiences.”
Carriage has been secured on Sky at the relatively high 125, on Virgin Media 167 as well as BT Vision and TalkTalk.
