Price Busters TV is a shopping channel in United Kingdom. The channel broadcasts live daily from 4pm through until midnight. When Price Busters TV is not broadcasting live they repeat the previous evenings' live output in whole from midnight through until 8am, and again from 8am through until 4pm.
Up until recently, Price Busters TV was only available via the Sky digital platform on channel 681. However, on Friday 20th October 2006 they followed the example other shopping channels in the UK and commenced live online video streaming through their website.
[edit] Presenters
At launch Price Busters TV had nine presenters, and shortly thereafter were joined by Hannah Patterson from Speed Auction TV.
The presenters at launch were:
Julia Binns, Tina Harris, Martin Killick, Becki Mahon, Simon Liddicott, Janice Phillips, Ruth Terry, Mark Tunstall, and Lou Webb
Following the launch and disappointing sales, Price Busters TV began restructuring. This resulted in redundancies including Julia Binns and Simon Liddicott. A few months later Becki Mahon, and Hannah Patterson also parted company with Price Busters TV.
Price Busters TV currently has a team of six presenters. Two pairs of presenters appear on the channel daily. Each presenter spends no more than five minutes on-screen talking about a particular product.
