History
Sky Witness's history can be traced back to 1993 when
UK Living began broadcasting. The channel was purchased by BSkyB in 2010 and announced on 25 October 2010, that Living would be rebranded as Sky Living in early 2011 to improve their entertainment line-up.
[2]
On 8 June 2018, Sky announced that Sky Living would be closed and replaced on 6 August by a new channel Sky Witness , bringing an end to the Living brand after 25 years.

Following the acquisition of Sky by
Comcast , which already operated
Universal TV , much of the programming previously screened on Universal TV, particularly first-run acquired series, transferred to Sky Witness, allowing Universal to be closed and replaced by
Sky Comedy .
