UKTV is set to launch VOD services for its Dave, Yesterday and Really channels.

Each channel will have its own catch-up player, which will feature a catalogue of recent content and archive titles.

Dave and Yesterday's services will be available from early October, while lifestyle channel Really will launch later.

Darren Childs, CEO of UKTV, said: "UKTV is investing more money in content than ever before and it is important we are servicing our viewers by enabling them to access Dave, Yesterday and Really directly for the very first time, through our on demand players - three vibrant and curated, direct to viewer, player services.

"Part catch-up and part-archive, on demand will offer the best of these populist channels - whether catching up on the brand new Red Dwarf X at Dave on demand, or watching the top-rating factual series Museum Secrets all over again on Yesterday on demand."
