Real Estate TV, also known as RETV, is an award winning UK based television channel and multi-media company that forms part of News Corporation’s Fox International Channels’ network.

As a simulcast company, RETV is the UK’s only dedicated property television channel, and it successfully bridges the divide between traditional television transmission and new media, online, on demand broadcasting.

Launched in October 2004 on the British Sky Broadcasting platform, Real Estate TV is now available on Sky Channels 273 and 274, on demand on Virgin TV and at www.realestatetv.tv ^[1]

The channel broadcasts 24 hours a day on Sky Channel 273 and has a +1 service available on Sky Channel 274. RETV broadcasts to over 21 million adult viewers in the UK and Ireland, and to millions more across Europe. The company is based at FIC’s studios at Shepherd’s Bush in London and Real Estate TV is a member of the Association of International Property Professionals. ^[2]

Mark Dodd, managing director and founder of the company, continues to lead Real Estate TV today despite the January 2008 controlling stake purchase by Fox International Channels (FIC) ^[3]

Programming includes the transmission of quality, entertaining property programs from the UK and around the world, as well as RETV commissioned series such as ‘Next Big Thing.’

‘Next Big Thing’ specifically focuses on global emerging property markets of interest and financial potential to the channel’s viewers.

Online on its own dedicated website, RETV offers streaming video, a property finder service, international real estate news and value added viewer services such as currency exchange, insurance and international mortgages.

RETV also offers free-to-view video content via Tiscali, Blinx, Jalipo and BT Vision. It was as a result of the RETV online expansion and development that in 2006 the channel won the ‘Best Use of Broadband’ award at the Broadcast Digital Channel Awards and RETV also won the OPP Special Innovation Award in 2007 ^[4]

As an advertisement platform for property professionals, Real Estate TV allows brand owners to target property-focused consumers through spot advertising, sponsorship, or advertiser funded programming. Tailor-made, long-form advertisements can be produced by the RETV creative team as well, offering developers, agents and property professionals the opportunity to showcase their properties or services in a measurable way to secure leads for example.
