Watch launched on 7 October 2008, taking over capacity on Sky previously used for UKTV Style +2, which had closed on 15 September 2008 in preparation for the launch.

The channel would feature general entertainment programmes, primarily from the programming archive of the BBC, who owned a 50% share of the network through the corporation's commercial arm BBC Worldwide. Featured programmes included Torchwood, general entertainment programmes, and international versions of popular current British programming, (such as Dancing with the Stars, the US version of Strictly Come Dancing, and the various American editions of Wipeout, which is titled as Total Wipeout USA to avert confusion with the British programme of the same name). The channel also featured programmes displaced following the repositioning of other UKTV channels (such as the move of all non-crime drama to the channel following Alibi's launch), and programming already shown on other UKTV channels in greater numbers (such as Traffic Cops). The channel controller was Paul Moreton.[3]

On 15 February 2016, Watch was rebranded as W. The channel's programming would be revamped and would feature original dramas, documentaries, and lifestyle shows.[2][4]
