The Community Channel has acquired BBC shows No Waste Like Home, Making Slough Happy and ITV's The Street Where You Live as part of its 2007 line-up.

Launched in 2005, No Waste Like Home introduced Britain's most wasteful families, The Street Where You Live, a 2005 Blenheim Films production for ITV, tells the social history of six London residential roads, and in Making Slough Happy, six experts conduct experiments, including giving the people of Slough a happiness manifesto, in order to make the town a better place to live.

The channel has also struck its first deal with Oxfam to show three half-hour documentaries throughout January highlighting the charity's work across the world.

Another acquisition is On The Tiger's Trail - Hope for Street Children in Uganda, a 30-minute documentary showing the work of charity Retrak, which set up The Tigers Club in Uganda to engage with street boys whose lives have been affected by HIV/AIDS, rejection and abuse.

The documentary is being broadcast on Community Channel in conjunction with the January release of the film The Last King of Scotland which stars Forest Whitaker, Gillian Anderson and James McAvoy, and was shot in Uganda.

The Community Channel is broadcast 24 hours a day, every day on Sky channel 539, NTL channel 233 and from 6-9am on Freeview channel 87, with around 1.2 million people watching every month.
