ABOUT
ITVBe features the best entertaining lifestyle and reality programming from the UK and the US. From launch, ITVBe became the exclusive home of ITV's award-winning series, The Only Way is Essex.
The channel also features acquired content, including the US Real Housewives franchise, which previously aired in daytime on ITV2.
ITVBe is wholly funded by advertising and sponsorship, and is available free on all the major broadcasting platforms, including Freeview, Sky and Virgin Media.
ITVBe complements ITV2, which in turn continues to strengthen its position as the home of unashamed entertainment for 16-34 year olds, focusing on scripted series, irreverent panel shows and formats, and youth skewing commissions and acquisitions with bold humour at their heart.
