R TV Network


Reminiscent TV Network or R TV was a TV network in the United Kingdom. It was planned to be the first network to introduce the subscription model to Asian programming on the Sky Digital platform. The idea was to provide channels which would launch free to air initially, then once an audience had been gained, to convert some of the channels to pay TV. Six channels were launched in the years 2000 and 2001.
The network got into financial trouble long before subscriptions would have become viable, and all its channels were pulled off air over a period of few weeks in early 2002.
