The channel was only available on Sky, TalkTalk TV and Virgin Media, and was not available on the digital terrestrial service Freeview. ==History== The channel launched on 8 March 2004 as UKTV People, showing repeats of factual programming of a lighter nature, based on the people of the world with programmes such as ''Top Gear'' and the docusoap ''Airport''. Much of this programming had come from the former channel UK Horizons, which had closed down the day before. The channel itself, along with UKTV Documentary, replaced this channel formally. On 9 October 2008, UKTV announced plans to rebrand UKTV People and UKTV Documentary in early 2009.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=UKTV unveils its new factual channel brands – Eden and Blighty )〕 The news came just two days after UKTV's entertainment channels were rebranded to Watch, Gold and Alibi.
