Dave Ja Vu returns to 4 hour broadcast on Freeview

Thursday 20 November 2014 UKTV, the award-winning broadcaster that reaches over 42 million viewers a month, has announced that Dave Ja Vu will now broadcast 24 hours a day on Freeview Channel 25.

Dave Ja Vu, a time-shift service for leading entertainment channel Dave, has only been broadcasting three hours of content a day on Freeview since summer of 2013. Now fans of Dave have an opportunity to catch up on smash hit shows such as Storage Hunters UK, Red Bull Cliff Diving and Lizard Lick Towing one hour after they have aired on the channel.

Dave has enjoyed huge success this year and has cemented its position as the number one non-PSB channel in the country. UKTV recently announced an increase in its programming budget to £125m and a raft of exciting new content is slated to air on Dave in 2015, including Hoff the Record, Undercover and returning series of Ross Noble Freewheeling and Alan Davies As Yet Untitled.

About Dave HD Sky 111/232, Virgin 128, HD: 129, Freeview 12

Dave proudly presents a plethora of original commissions; Crackanory, Ross Noble Freewheeling, Dave Gormans Modern Life is Goodish, and Dara O Briain: School of Hard Sums, all laden with the biggest names in British comedy. Not to mention a brand spanking new series with QI favourite Alan Davies in Alan Davies As Yet Untitled.

If that wasnt enough to whet your appetite we also have a stack of national treasures like QI, Red Dwarf X, Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You, plus the Red Bull trilogy of Cliff Diving, X-Fighters and the Soap Box races. And of course, we still have Top Gear.

Obviously we have to add, Dave is the UKs most watched non-PSB channel broadcasting to over 27 million people per month, featuring hit US shows including the sharp-witted and sharp-suited Suits, the ludicrously addictive Lizard Lick Towing and the wonder that is Storage Hunters, the gift that keeps on giving.
