Freeview users are urged to retune their TVs after an update to the channel line-up. Two new stations have joined the free-to-air platform this week.
They are EarthxTV and Celebration TV. The former is on channel 79 and the latter on channel 275.
EarthxTV is dedicated to programming about the environment and sustainability, while Celebration TV focuses on faith and religion, reports the Express. Freeview has also confirmed some other changes, which users will be able to see when they retune their TVs.
The Now 90s service is moving from channel 79 to channel 87 and Country Music Entertainment is being rebranded to Classic Hits and getting more coverage across the UK so more users can find this station on their TVs. As with all Freeview updates, you may find you need to retune your television to view the new content.
Confirming the changes, Freeview said in a post on its website: "Some broadcasters are making important changes to their family of channels and two new channels, EarthxTV and Celebration TV are launching on Freeview. You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date."
News of this update comes as more free content will be arriving on Freeview next month thanks to the launch of a new film service. GREAT!, which already offers numerous movie channels on platforms such as Sky and Freeview, is launching a brand new service, called GREAT! movies Christmas, that will be dedicated to endless festive flicks.
Although December 25 is still months away, GREAT! clearly thinks people will want to get in the mood early this year with the channel officially arriving on September 8. The firm says it will broadcast films 24 hours a day and show movies such as A Christmas Melody starring Mariah Carey.
Other things confirmed are Whoopi Goldberg in the family film Call Me Claus, Liam Neeson, Pierce Brosnan and Suranne Jones in A Christmas Star, and Lesley Manville, John Hannah and Sylvester McCoy in The Christmas Candle. If you fancy tuning in, you'll find the service on Freeview 52, Sky 319, Virgin 424, and Freesat 303 from next month and it's free to watch.
