Russia Today on Freeview?

[tvout]

I just retuned my set top box and noticed CNN (as mentioned) and also Russia Today? On the channel it just stated it was on Freesat and Sky. I already have it on Sky but can't find any information on it being on Freeview?

Mine automatically picked it up recently... can't see that I'll ever watch it though... has some Russion billionaire grabbed UK bandwidth?

It is on Freeview Channel 85, a channel went bust so they bought the channel slot. Its funded by the Russian Government, they give the best unbiased news in my oppinion, its slightly biased in regards to bad things going on in Russia but seems very honest in everything else which the BBC and sky news certainly are not. It will probably be launching on Virgin in August btw.
