Eden

Background

Eden launched on March 8, 2004 as UKTV Documentary. It was one of the two channels that replaced UK Horizons (the other being UKTV People), but UKTV Documentary aired a majority of shows that were previously aired on UK Horizons. In January 2009, UKTV Documentary was renamed Eden when the UKTV network started dropping umbrella branding from its channels.
