CBS Reality is a reality television channel which broadcasts across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
On 14 September 2009, it was revealed that the international arm of CBS, CBS Studios International, struck a joint venture deal with Chellomedia to launch six CBS-branded channels in the UK during 2009. The new channels would replace Zone Romantica, Zone Thriller, Zone Horror and Zone Reality, plus timeshift services Zone Horror +1 and Zone Reality +1.[1][2] On 1 October 2009, it was announced that CBS Reality, CBS Reality +1, CBS Drama and CBS Action would launch on 16 November 2009 replacing Zone Reality, Zone Reality +1, Zone Romantica and Zone Thriller. On 5 April 2010, Zone Horror and Zone Horror +1 were rebranded as Horror Channel and Horror Channel +1, following the rebrand of the portfolio's other three channels in November 2009.[3]
On 1 August 2012 Chellomedia revealed that the European version of Zone Reality would be rebranded into CBS Reality as well.[4] In Europe CBS Reality replaced Zone Reality on 3 December 2012.[5]
AMC Networks acquired Chellomedia on 2 February 2014. Chellomedia was rebranded by AMC Networks International on 8 July 2014.[6]
As of 2 April 2014, CBS Reality is available on Freeview (on channel 66) and Freesat (on channel 135) in the United Kingdom. A timeshift channel, CBS Reality +1, was available on YouView (TalkTalk Plus TV) channel 484 as of 27 July 2014, but was removed on 2 June 2015.
