Wedding TV was a woman's lifestyle television channel broadcast in the United Kingdom. Separate versions of the channel were available in Poland and Italy. The channel claims to be the first TV channel of its kind, concentrating on love, life, relationships and weddings. The focus of the channel is primarily weddings and brides though there are programmes on fashion, beauty, celebrities and travel.

History

Wedding TV was co-founded by Mirek Grabiec, Ben Watts, Marc Conneely and Tony Prince, a former DJ for Radio Luxembourg.

In August 2007, Wedding TV became the UK's first channel to eliminate tape entirely from delivery to play-out, significantly reducing the cost of production.[1]

In 2008 Wedding TV won the Broadcast Digital Channel Award for the Best Specialist Channel.[2]

On 25 November 2011, Wedding TV Limited entered administration.[3] In December 2011, Wedding TV was purchased by Creamdove Limited.[4]

On 9 May 2012, the channel was removed from Freesat channel 400, where it had been broadcasting since the launch of the service on 6 May 2008. On 21 May 2013, the channel was removed from Sky channel 266.
