Film 24 (channel)

Film24 was a British television channel, that was available on Sky channel 157. The company had offices at Pinewood Studios and produced content for the TV channel as well as programmes for international TV, the Internet and mobile distribution.

History

Film24 was an independent, multi-platform content business, founded by Nicky J Davis and based at Pinewood Film Studios, that produced programmes and short features about the film industry and films themselves to satisfy the ever-growing consumer demand for film consumption and the audience's fascination with the movie business. Content was available via its own website, on mobile via RokTV, IPTV via Joost and as programming blocks on Sky.

Following a trial run on Sky channel 138, with excellent feedback from both viewers and the film industry alike, Film24 secured a permanent home in the Entertainment section of the Sky Electronic Programming Guide by acquiring Sky Channel 158 (Bonanza) and all its assets from Optimistic Entertainment in May 2007 through major shareholder Caparo Ventures.
