UKTV factual channel editor Andrew Lowrey is gearing up to commission 120 hours of extra factual programming from indies and in-house producers and it is also planning to reposition digital channel UK Horizons.
Lowrey has also hired to new members of staff as part of the repositioning.

Morling’s brief to reposition contains directions to give UK Horizons a darker content with an edgier feel. Under Wilson the channel will also crank up its original commissions quota by 120 per cent to a total of 106 hours in 2001.
Lowrey said he was looking forward for new ideas and interactive proposals as well as output in its traditional genres such as history, science docu-soap travel and adventure.
