UK Food was launched on 5th November2001. Along with the rest of the network, the "UK" prefix was changed to "UKTV" on 8th March2004 and is thus now known as UKTV Food
This channel shows cookery programmes that are a combination of internally produced shows and repeats of shows from the BBC archive. Many of these shows were, before UK Food's launch, shown on UK Style
The channel shows several BBC reruns, but also has shows such as Good Food Live which are unique to the UKTV network
UKTV's channels are available via satellite and cable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Most programmes on UKTV's channels are repeat broadcasts of BBC productions (although the entertainment channels also feature programmes made by other companies) and the channels themselves are played out by Red Bee Media (formerly BBC Broadcast) from their 'Broadcast Centre' in West London.
None of the UKTV channels operates in widescreen — programmes made in widescreen are always horizontally cropped into 14:9, though during coverage of the 2006 World Cup pictures were transmitted in the 16:9 aspect ratio.
