Freeview, a popular television service, has recently made significant changes to its TV guide, including repositioning channels and renaming one. The notable update involves the closure of Talk channel (Ch 280), a British news channel known for debate, opinion-led journalism, and politics, featuring presenters like Jeremy Kyle, Mark Dolan, and Kevin O’Sullivan. To access Talk channel now, viewers must use the official Talk app or other platforms such as Samsung TVs, Roku devices, and LG screens.
Additionally, Freeview’s latest update reveals that Wedotv Big Stories on channel 275 will be rebranded as Wedotv. Moreover, three services will be relocated on the planner: Ketchup TV will move from Ch 209 to Ch 208, Ketchup Too from Ch 210 to Ch 209, and Cartoon Classics from Ch 214 to Ch 210.
Freeview confirmed that on June 25, 2026, some broadcasters will make changes to their channels, emphasizing the evolving nature of channels on Freeview. Viewers are advised to check their TV settings to ensure they have all the correct channels by retuning their TVs. The process involves pressing the menu button on the remote control, selecting ‘set-up’, ‘installation’, or ‘update’, choosing ‘first-time installation’, and saving the found channels when prompted.
