==History ==
Sky Witness's history can be traced back to 1993 when '''[[Sky Living|UK Living]]''' began broadcasting. The channel was purchased by BSkyB in 2010 and announced on 25 October 2010, that Living would be rebranded as '''Sky Living''' in early 2011 to improve their entertainment line-up.<ref name=Strength>{{cite web |title=Sky confirms strengthened entertainment line-up |url=http://corporate.sky.com/investors/press_releases/2010/sky_confirms_strengthened_line_up |publisher=[[British Sky Broadcasting]] |date=25 October 2010 |access-date=25 October 2010}}</ref>

On 8 June 2018, Sky announced that Sky Living would be closed and replaced on 6 August by a new channel '''Sky Witness''', bringing an end to the ''Living'' brand after 25 years.<ref>[https://www.a516digital.com/2018/06/sky-living-to-become-sky-witness.html Sky Living to become Sky Witness] a516digital, 8 June 2018</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Clarke |first=Stewart |title=Sky Rebrands U.S. Drama Channel, Lands MGM's 'Harry Quebert' |url=https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/sky-witness-new-name-for-us-drama-channel-1202837204/ |work=Variety |date=8 June 2018}}</ref>

Following the acquisition of Sky by [[Comcast]] in 2018, much of the programming previously screened on the Comcast-owned [[Universal TV (British and Irish TV channel)|Universal TV]] (particularly first-run acquired series) was moved to Sky Witness; allowing the channel to be closed and replaced by [[Sky Comedy]].
