History

Bravo launched on 3 July 2016. Following the closure of Four, a one and a half minute promotion aired, previewing the content to be expected on Bravo. The first show to be broadcast on Bravo was Top Chef, at 5:10am.

On 1 May 2017, Bravo adopted a new black logo to match its U.S counterpart, which had rebranded to that same logo three months earlier.

On 3 July 2016, coinciding with the launch of Bravo, Mediaworks launched a standard hour delayed timeshift channel of the broadcast to replace Four Plus 1.[2]
