About YESTERDAY

YESTERDAY [UK] is a British factual channel from UKTV, focused on history, culture and heritage. It launched on 30 October 2002 as UK History and moved to the Yesterday brand on 2 March 2009.

The schedule is built around documentary strands on major eras, biographies, war history, technology, architecture, travel and cultural memory. The channel does not treat history as a dry timeline only. It frames the past through people, places, archives, everyday details and larger turning points.

YESTERDAY keeps a calm factual tone rather than the pace of noisy entertainment. Its line-up is shaped by history strands, evening documentary blocks, repeats and themed marathons, giving the channel a distinct place within British factual television.
