Freeview has recently made updates to its TV guide, including repositioning channels and renaming some services. The significant change involves the closure of Talk (Ch 280), a British news channel known for its focus on debate and politics. Viewers can now access Talk through the official Talk app or other platforms like Samsung TVs, Roku devices, and LG screens.
Additionally, Wedotv Big Stories on channel 275 will be rebranded as Wedotv, and three services will be relocated on the planner. Ketchup TV, Ketchup Too, and Cartoon Classics will have new channel numbers, with Ketchup TV moving from Ch 209 to Ch 208, Ketchup Too shifting from Ch 210 to Ch 209, and Cartoon Classics now available on Ch 210 instead of Ch 214.
Freeview stated that on June 25, 2026, some broadcasters will make changes to their channels. The platform emphasized that channels on Freeview are continuously evolving, with individual channels deciding to move, add, or remove content to offer audiences a diverse viewing experience.
To ensure that your TV has the latest channel lineup, it is recommended to access the settings and perform a retune. By following the steps to retune your TV, including selecting ‘set-up’ or ‘installation’ and initiating a first-time installation, viewers can keep their channels and TV guide up to date.
