Freeview users in Wales can now access a new entertainment channel on the platform, following a configuration change made this week.

The BBC has moved its HD children’s channels to new slots on the Freeview channel list, filling the gap left by CITV.

Viewers selecting a Freeview streaming channel will in the future see fewer messages about services not being regulated.

With both public service and commercial broadcasters pushing to ditch traditional terrestrial TV service as they want to reduce distribution costs and monetise viewers online, a new report says the UK’s internet networks are not ready to become the sole method of receiving TV.

The streaming service that will ultimately replace Freeview and Freesat will launch ahead of this summer’s big sports events with brand new features and an additional launch partner.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has confirmed it will progress with plans to allow Ofcom to renew licences for local TV channels and the local TV Freeview multiplex.

TV is changing: Freeview may now only have ten years left in its current form, with the main free-to-air broadcasters clubbing together to launch a replacement online service.

That’s TV is launching a new spin-off channel on Wednesday 3rd January, which will provide a further free-to-air outlet for the broadcaster’s recent archive content acquisitions.

Key decisions have been made on the future use of frequencies used for terrestrial TV, including Freeview in the UK and Saorview in the Republic of Ireland.

ITV effectively withdraws two timeshift services from the Freeview channel line-up.
