Did one of the Great channels replace Pop in the end as you wondered last November?

Re: Freeview changes
 

I’m not paying super close attention and keeping count, but U&W moved to COM4, so maybe that took the POP slot?

Re: Freeview changes
 

UKTV moves U&Dave +1 hour channel to the local Mux to make room for U&W.

Due to General Entertainment channel numbers (01 to 99) being use any new General Entertainment channel will appear on Freeview Channel 120 or 121.

Re: Freeview changes
 

Music & Memories TV looks to be in the process of securing it's own Freeview channel number. According to the channels message board an announcement is due to be made shortly about a February launch date. It is currently part of the Channel Box selection on channel 271. No info on whether it will be broadcast or streamed, though I would think streamed is more likely.
