Property TV
Property TV – the UK’s dedicated property television channel officially launched on Sky 238 in June and can be viewed on any Sky box.
It fills an identified gap in the market to meet the commercial needs of businesses working in and alongside the property industry. We see a clear and recognisable interest in TV programmes that provide information and entertainment on a wide range of issues including buy to let, home improvements, and property-related lifestyles.
Sky (formally known as BskyB) is one of the UK’s most popular paid-TV providers with over 10 million subscribers and counting. Property TV will also be the first independent channel to be showcased on one of the UK’s leading television applications that is already installed on over 14 million devices.
Research indicates that TV remains the most effective way to build a brand, creating a greater positive impact on businesses than other forms of advertising and generating the most profit for businesses pound for pound. A study found that TV advertising gave an average profit return of £1.79 for every £1 invested during the period 2011-14.
Property TV has three main aims: to entertain, inform and educate. This enables us to draw in audiences that love watching property television programmes, around which businesses working in and alongside the industry can advertise.
– To our knowledge Property TV is the first to market as a channel of its kind in the UK and can be viewed on any Sky box since 1st June 2015.

– Several commercial relationships have been established with property-related businesses to appear as sponsors and advertisers on the channel (largest signed deal so far is a 3-month contract worth more than £30k).

Property TV is raising funds in order to increase the amount of content aired on the channel and to bolster the marketing budget. To the extent we overfund we will also investigate the production of original pilot programmes for our own ideas.
