For Your Info:

Together TV DO NOT PAY to broadcasting on any network & is given any FREE space on Freeview by the owner of the Multiplex who are:

*BBC (BBC A & BBC B)
*ITV & C4 (D3 & 4)
*ITV (SDN aka COM4)
*Arqiva (COM5 & COM6)
*That's Media (Manchester Mux)
*That's Media's Canis Media (Local Mux)

So if let say Cable Forum wanted to launch a part time channel on Freeview they can take over Together TV slot on SDN if Cable Forum are willing to pay the fees.

I have just been seen info from Facebook that the Create & Craft's administrators has sold The Craft Store brand to an yet unnamed company.

Facebook says the yet to be named new company will relaunch The Craft Store soon.

More information set to be reveal on Thursday Night (January 9th).

Facebook is reporting that a yet unnamed company is own by Paul Wright (Ex Hochanda Global Ltd Director from August 2019 to December 2023).

Facebook is also reporting that this new company was incorporated on January 8th 2025.

Re: Freeview changes
 

Following info from Company House:

In their 2022 results (last results reported by GINX TV) GINX TV did reveal that GINX TV need to pay-off TWO loans by January 31st 2025.

Also two directors has left in the last 6 months.

I have only seen two years Accounts for GINX TV (2021 & 2022) and they did lose £1,201,103 in that time.

Re: Freeview changes
 

There seems plenty of space for SD channels on that multiplex. Might be a new trend.

Was TBN UK the first SD channel on that mux? I can’t remember.

Re: Freeview changes
 

Is BBC B Mux not set to close by November 2026?

The BBC and The BBC (Free to View) has still to ask OFCOM for an 10 year renewal for both BBC's BBC A (SD) Mux and BBC Studio's BBC B Mux.



.

Re: Freeview changes
 

I remember it was suggested this is because the Charter Renewal still has to happen, so they will be waiting to see how that looks before renewing.

Re: Freeview changes
 

Just been told on X that OFCOM CAN only renew BBC B.

BBC A licensing IS part of the BBC's Royal Charter.
