- The Guardian, Tuesday, May 19, 2015 6:39 AM
Hits including "Storage Hunters" and "Monty Python Live (Mostly)" helped UKTV to record revenues and profits last year, growing its market share to match free-to-air rivals including Channel 5. The pay-TV company -- which owns 10 channels including Dave, Gold, Watch and Drama -- grew revenues by just under 2% to GBP283m and adjusted profits by 10% to GBP74.1m. UKTV, jointly owned by US broadcaster Scripps and BBC Worldwide, has grown its share again in the first quarter this year to 9.41%.
