All information right as of March 24th.
All following Channels are set to close/or move to other streams on Freeview by July 2022.
SD:
FreeSports
Quest Red+1
Now 80s
More4+1
PBS America+1
That's TV (UK)
Forces TV
HD:
Quest HD
BBC NEWS HD
BBC FOUR HD
CBeebies HD
Plus Talk TV is set to launch soon on Freeview.
Set to happen on March 28th?
Together TV will move to LTV Mux
Drama +1 will launch on COM5
Adult Xpanded TV will move to COM6 to timeshare with Ideal World
So I think a following may happen (My own views):
TalkTV will launch on COM4
NOW 80s will move to COM6
Forces TV may move to COM4
I think That's TV will stay on Freeview but only on Channel 7/8 and via IPTV (Line up is the same as That's TV UK anyway.)
I think it safe to say the following is set to close on Freeview:
Quest Red+1
More4+1
PBS America+1
That's TV (UK)
Forces TV
Quest HD
BBC NEWS HD
BBC FOUR HD
CBeebies HD
