CBS Reality is a British free-to-air television channel broadcast in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

History
CBS Reality was launched as Reality TV on 1 December 1999 as a joint-venture between UPCtv and Zone Vision. In 2005, Liberty Global, owner of UPC, bought Zone Vision. In 2006, they decided to put all their channels under the unified "Zone" brand. Reality TV became Zone Reality, Reality Extra in UK became Zone Reality Extra on 26 June 2006.

On 1 August 2012, Chellomedia revealed that the European version of Zone Reality would be rebranded into CBS Reality. In Europe, Zone Reality was rebranded on 3 December 2012. AMC Networks acquired Chellomedia on 2 February 2014. Chellomedia was rebranded as AMC Networks International on 8 July 2014.

CBS Reality is available in HD in Poland since 23 September 2019.

UK and Ireland
Reality TV was launched by UPCtv and Zone Vision on the Sky EPG in the UK and Ireland on 10 October 2002. In February 2006, an additional channel called Reality Extra was launched.

On 14 September 2009, it was revealed that CBS Studios International had struck a joint venture deal with Chellomedia to launch six CBS-branded channels in the UK and Ireland during 2009. On 16 November 2009, the channel rebranded as CBS Reality and CBS Reality +1.

, CBS Reality is available on Freeview and Freesat in the United Kingdom. A timeshift channel, CBS Reality +1, was available on YouView , but was removed on 2 June 2015. In Ireland, the channels are available on Sky Ireland.
