I came across this earlier today promoting a new BBC Studios channel BBC Living, available on IPTV service Fetch TV in Australia.

I don't think it's replacing BBC Lifestyle (despite the similar logo), as that is still broadcasting elsewhere.

Is this the first venture into an IPTV only service from BBC Studios?

Don’t think it’s IPTV only - it says it’s on Foxtel.

A fiver says it’s presentation is a million times better than anything on any of the UK BBC channels...

It says Fetch, which is IPTV. I have Foxtel and it isn't on my EPG.

Apparently it started on Fetch TV on 1 May, and it's definitely showing on their TV Guide. I can't see any plans anywhere for it to go to any of the other platforms such as Foxtel.
