The channel launched on Sky in the UK and Ireland on 12 December 2011.[4] In the region the channel is known as UMP Movies (UTV Motion Pictures Movies) due to legal issues over the UTV brand, which is already in use by the Northern Irish broadcaster UTV Media in Europe.[5] A launch on Freesat followed on 8 February 2012, however the channel was removed from the platform on 7 February 2013.[6][7] UMP Movies also launched on Virgin Media on 18 December 2012.[8] It closed on Sky on 29 September 2016, and was replaced by Rishtey Cineplex.
