'Life,' 'Anatomy' going to Living TV

Channel one of Blighty's most successful

LONDON -- Buena Vista Intl. Television has sold exclusive U.K. rights to "Life As We Know It" and "Grey's Anatomy" to Living TV, the ambitious Flextech-owned niche web.

"Grey's Anatomy" is still to bow Stateside.

Living TV is one of the most successful of Blighty's paybox channels thanks to a schedule strong on U.S. imports like "Will & Grace" and home-grown supernatural skeins including "Most Haunted."

Its decision to snap up two more U.S. dramas continues its strategy and indicates how competitive this sector of the market is becoming as Sky One and ITV2 increase their budgets.
