UK’s TV gets better and better

The innovations in UK television have kept on coming. The advent of new channels, platforms, and ways to view have increased at pace and fit a busy market churning out the hits.

The latest iterations of political chat show programming such as TalkTV and GBNews have enjoyed patchy success, but their introduction mark a milestone in moving things forward.

The introduction of Freely, a new platform by publicly owned Everyone TV – a joint venture between the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 – is another step forward for television viewers.

The variety of home-grown programming is increasing at pace and making waves too. Lately, Have I Got News For You hit CNN – a major American cable network – in September.

The ideas, scope, and appeal of programming is hitting different spots across the UK. The benefit is that entertainment is more open, accessible, and informative than ever before.
