History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2010)

Jewellery Maker was launched on 4 May 2010 after the Colorful Company Group purchased the Thomas Cook TV EPG slot on

studio, following the acquisition of Gems TV UK Limited.

On 10 August 2010, Jewellery Maker launched on Freesat channel 807. On 8 September 2010, the channel also launched on Virgin Media channel 756, replacing Gems TV 2. On 1 January, 2022, the channel was removed from Virgin Media, which the channel classified as a “Personal Decision” for its removal.^{[citation needed]}

In 2015 the Immediate Media Company acquired Jewellery Maker from the Genuine Gemstone Company, adding to Immediate's Craft and Arts portfolio.^[1]

Freeview

Following the acquisition of a 24-hour

during this period; channel 43 relayed Gems TV between 1pm and 9am.

The Late Show

As of 1 March 2012, the channel also broadcasts live from 5pm to 9pm in what is billed as "The Late Show". As Gems TV was (and is) using Freeview 43 at these times, The Late Show was only broadcast on Jewellery Maker's dedicated satellite and cable channels.

From the DTT platform at the start of November 2013, the shopping channel Marketplace (on Freeview channel 50) increased its broadcast hours to provide a round-the-clock shopping service, following the removal of the

services. TGGC leased a four-hour programming block on this station to allow the Jewellery Maker Late Show to be simulcast. Marketplace is not broadcast as a channel on satellite or cable platforms.

The cessation of Marketplace in February 2014 means Jewellery Maker has reverted to its prior day-show-only service on Freeview.

HobbyMaker

HobbyMaker is a sister channel to Jewellery Maker.[2] It is broadcast on Freeview channel 73 and Virgin Media channel 754.
