Yes.

UT is slang for universal time.  There are various "universal" times
depending on just how many corrections are applied.  From memory they
are UTC0, UTC1, UTC2, and UTC3.  I believe the most common is UTC1, and
that is what is broadcast.  The accuracy is better than 1 sec most/all
of the time.
