TV & Radio

The world’s first public TV channel, broadcasting since 1936, and still the UK’s main public TV service.

BBC’s second public channel, and one of the UK’s original terrestrial TV channels. It was the first UK channel broadcast in colour and originally contained mostly minority programming, but with the advent of the BBC’s digital channels has become more mainstream.

The UK’s first commercial broadcaster.

The UK’s fourth terrestrial channel, considered by many to be a little “racier” and daring than the other mainstream channels.
