Formation
After the gradual dissolution of the company's predecessor, DARYTV on August 4th 2015, both David and Rosie the co-owners of DARYTV felt no immediate obligation to begin another television channel. Throughout the period of late September to early October both former owners of DARYTV felt the want to get back into their respective businesses, this led to talks about a possible formation of another YouTube television channel of the name ITY. However, on October 15th this option was abandoned.

Talks to form another television channel again began on Monday 9th November 2015 where both David Allen and Rosie Shone mutually agreed to go into a partnership under the name DRYTV. The first session was officially held on Monday 16th November 2015 of which many new employees attended along with some former employees of DARYTV.

Production
The production for DRYTV did not start until a relatively long time after the business was established. The first official broadcast began on Thursday 24th December 2015 which previewed what was coming up in the following days. On Christmas day 2015 the station closed down and opened again on the 26th of December showing the 'DRYTV 2015 Christmas Video' and from then on normal programming resumed.

Broadcasting
The name David and Rosie's YouTube Television (DRYTV) ensues that the television time produced would be predominantly produced on YouTube and this was so up until January 16th 2017 when the company decided to start putting their content on their website of the same name. This website featured many pages, the main of which was title 'Current Programme - Whats on now' The page featured what the station was currently broadcasting. There was also another page entitled 'Catch up' featuring the content from the previous 7 days.
