Diva TV was a British TV channel owned by Universal Networks International, which launched on Sky in the UK and Ireland on channel 269 at midday on 1 October 2007.[1] [2]
Despite having quite a varied schedule upon launch, the channel's programming declined. It aired shows such as The Late Show With David Letterman, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Talk and McLeod's Daughters.
On 1 November 2011 Diva TV +1 closed on Sky channel 277. The channel had previously been available on Virgin Media channel 165 until 1 April 2010.
Diva TV closed on 14 February 2012 at midnight with its most popular programmes shifted to the Style Network.[3] [4] The move followed NBCUniversal's acquisition by Comcast in March 2011 and affected only the UK market.
