Pitch TV was a home shopping television channel broadcast in the United Kingdom on the Freesat and Sky platforms. Viewers could order products by phone and online. The channel operated as a traditional shopping channel in that the items were sold at a fixed price and not auctioned or reduced. In August 2009, Pitch TV temporarily ceased broadcasting after parent company Pitchwell Group went into liquidation. The sales orderline of the channel ceased on 10 August, with a statement posted on channel's website confirming that the company had gone bust on 24 August. In the statement, the firm claimed that the situation was due to "unreasonable steps taken from Lloyds bank which ultimately brought the business to a standstill".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pitch TV ceases broadcasting )〕 Programming from JML continued to broadcast in its place for a time.
