Official : Freesat to get three new UKTV channels.

Freesat has today confirmed the arrival of three new channels on to its service, but an exact launch date has not been announced.

New channels coming to Freesat soon..?




We mentioned in a recent post ( http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2015/11/possible-satellite-changes-for-the-uktv-group-of-channels/ ) that some of the UKTV group of channels had been duplicated on a UK beam frequency.


Speculation arose as to what this has meant. And, although there has been no official confirmation, it does appear as if Freesat will soon be getting some more channels.

4 new channels join freesat today

Freesat have today launched four new music channels.

These channels were recently only available as part of the Sky TV subscription package.

In the last few weeks, these channels became "free to air", requiring no subscription, fuelling speculation that they would join freesat.

The new channels are all music channels:

Kiss - freesat channel 518
The Box - freesat channel 519
Smash Hits - freesat channel 521
Kerrang! - freesat channel 524

Three new channels coming in 2011

Three "exciting new television channels" are expected in early 2011. They are expected to be free to air, but may end up being Freesat exclusive and not available on Sky boxes - at the moment this is unknown.

Electric Sofa Media, the UK’s newest broadcaster, plan to launch three new television channels on in early 2011.

The channels are focused on entertainment and film covering all ages:

Film GB – The first ever TV channel devoted exclusively to British cinema - a mixture of classic and new movies, including family favourites and brand new British films.

Sofa Stars – The new home of the best entertainment - entertainment, documentaries, dramas and daily news every weekday evening.

Sofa Screen – A new movie channel targeting 25-44 year olds - tearjerkers, family favourites, thrillers, horror, sci-fi and much more.

It is unknown if these will also be available on Sky boxes, as Freesat do seem to be getting some freesat exclusive channels - like the recently launched Movies For Men. Non Sky boxes should be Ok.
