CCXTV was a short-lived British free-to-air television channel launched on 15 April 2020[1] by Ideal World as an entertainment channel. It took over Create and Craft's Freeview LCN 23. The channel was on air from 07:00 until 22:00, with a schedule of imports and re-runs of shows like The Bold and The Beautiful,[2].

The channel was sold to UKTV in October 2020[3] to allow them to move Dave Ja Vu into LCN 23, resulting in CCXTV moving to LCN 73 on 7 December 2020. On 25 January 2021 it was announced that the channel would close on 1 February 2021[4] and be replaced by Drama +1.[5]
