The channel launched on Sky in the UK and Ireland on 11 June 2012.[5] In the region the channel was known as UMP Stars (UTV Motion Pictures Stars) due to legal issues over the UTV brand, which was already in use by the Northern Irish broadcaster UTV Media in Europe.[6] However the channel struggled to attract viewers in the region and was shut down on 23 December 2012.[7]
UTV Stars ceased its operations in May 2014.[8] This channel was rebranded as Bindass Play, launched by The Walt Disney Company (India) on 1 October 2014.[9]
