In the course of the global renaming of Universal Channel into Universal TV, the channel was renamed in Germany on 2 July 2018.[2]

It was folded into Sky Deutschland operations in December 2023.

Programming

[edit]

The programme consists of a mixture of feature films and series, the latter being the major part of the program. The station's prime time starts at 9 pm and is filled, among other things, by exclusive first broadcastings. The complete program is also available in the original version, in addition to German synchronization.[3] In addition to series already broadcast on other stations, German-language first-time broadcasts are also offered.
