CBS Reality is a European free-to-air television channel broadcast in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

History

CBS Reality was launched as Reality TV on 1 December 1999 as a joint-venture between UPCtv and Zone Vision.[1] In 2005, Liberty Global, owner of UPC, bought Zone Vision. In 2006, they decided to put all their channels under the unified "Zone" brand. Reality TV became Zone Reality.[2]

On 1 August 2012, Chellomedia revealed that the European version of Zone Reality would be rebranded into CBS Reality.[3] In Europe, Zone Reality was rebranded on 3 December 2012.[4] AMC Networks acquired Chellomedia on 2 February 2014. Chellomedia was rebranded as AMC Networks International on 8 July 2014.[5]

CBS Reality is available in HD in Poland since 23 September 2019.[6]
