UKTV, the joint venture between BBC and Flextech, is planning to launch a new youth-oriented channel on digital television, called UK Play. The channel, which would be the sixth UKTV launch, is to target 16-24 year olds with a mix of music, comedy and cult cartoons.
A spokesperson for the channel said that they have only just received the schedules but are working towards a 1 October launch. Presenters already procured for the show include Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles and Geordie model/presenter Jayne Middlemiss.
UKTV plans to broadcast the channel across as many digital services and platforms as possible. BSkyB will probably carry it and discussions are currently underway with On Digital.
