NBCUniversal's portfolio of UK channels - Universal Channel, E!, SYFY and Movies 24 - has launched on OTT platform TVPlayer as of today (Thursday December 7th). 
EXCLUSIVE: The Royals - the scripted drama series about the personal lives of a fictional British Royal Family - has lost its UK broadcaster. TVWise can exclusively reveal that E! UK & Ireland has opted not to renew their licensing deal for the series with international distributor Lionsgate Television; leaving The Royals without a UK home just as the third season has started airing in the United States. 
E! UK has taken the rights to the NBC late night talker The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after striking a deal with sister company NBCUniversal International Distribution, TVWise has learned. The NBCU owned channel plans to fast-track the series and will air episodes within 24 hours of the US broadcast. The premiere is set for Tuesday November 15th at 10pm, with new episodes airing Tuesday through Saturday in the same time-slot.
