In June 2009, hollywoodreporter.com cited the lack of viewership on SingTel's mio TV as the reason that the [[BBC|British Broadcasting Corporation]] terminated the right to air BBC Lifestyle, [[CBeebies]] and [[BBC Knowledge (Worldwide)|BBC Knowledge]] under permission registered BBC from 19 March 2009 to 15 December 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/asia/se-asia/e3if23ea57e4d01ad14d45108c1206d201c|title=Hollywood Reporter - Entertainment News|website=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=27 March 2018}}</ref> The BBC has since sourced StarHub TV as an alternative offering. Thus BBC Lifestyle is now on channel 432 on StarHub TV. However, as of 1 December 2021, BBC Lifestyle together with [[CBeebies]] made its return to Singtel TV along with the launch of BBC World News, BBC Earth and BBC First onto the platform.
