Coming Soon to Freeview (2013). - Page 2

I have read on a516digital.com that Film4 +1 will be returning to Freeview this summer. What a waste of multiplex space

. They could've launched Sony Movies, True Movies 1 or TCM in that space if Freeview want a good film channel. What... is going on!!!

Media Boy UK · 21-03-2013, 13:29

Broadcast: UKTV may launch Best of channels for that new Freeview Slot.

UKTV is also expected to announce its fourth Freeview channel in the coming weeks. The slot is currently being filled with Dave Ja Vu, a +1 version of its male-skewing entertainment channel, and one option would be a best-of-UKTV channel akin to Sky’s Pick TV on Freeview.

Sounds good! Maybe some decent entertainment on its way to freeview.

Depends what the broadcasters are willing to pay for a slot on Freeview. I'm of the same opinion with any +1 channel on Freeview, but the Mux operators are after profit, & he who bids highest usually gets the slot.

Yeah, its a waste of space but no-one else wants the space so it doesn't really matter.

Info from a516digital.com and AFP.

Hate it when they remove international or European versions and replace with UK Versions.

MTV never the same when the UK got MTV UK instead of MTV Europe.

Preferred Eurosport before it changed to Eurosport UK and same recently with Eurosport UK.

Q Radio to close and space reuse by Kisstory from Tuesday.

Q Radio to close on Tuesday.

Kisstory will be available on the Freeview TV platform, where it replaces the Q Radio from May 7th.

Quote:

Kisstory will build on the hour-long slot on the main Kiss station playing classic older tunes throughout the day, while KissFresh will be the station for new music and guest mixes spanning the hip-hop, R&B, EDM, House and garage genres.

The stations will be on air 24 hours a day from next Tuesday 7 May and will have presenters who will pop up through the day rather than being held down to a specific show time.

Kisstory will be available on the Freeview TV platform, where it replaces the Q radio station, as well as on the Kiss Player and KissKube iOS app. KissFresh will be available through the Kiss apps and players.

I'm glad Argos TV is going! Maybe a good channel in its existing primetime 6pm-11pm slot (and even better, a possible decent new channel to enter into my local Greater Manchester multiplex). What a relief, eh!?
