UKTV channels potentially coming to Freeview?
There is some speculation that UKTV might move the rest of its pay channels - Eden, Alibi and GOLD - to free-to-air platforms, including Freeview. Do people think this is likely to happen?

I was told at a time that UKTV are thinking of merge Eden into Yesterday on all networks. https://twitter.com/MediaBoyUK/statu...94989049610248 |

Thank you for the information MB. They have the slots so let's see if they decide to launch them on FV.

VM (and Sky) wouldn't be pleased. Might have to review whether I need an expensive tv package any longer. All my favourite channels seem to be on Freeview. |

Could it be worth GOLD and Drama into a single channel? Both channels air older shows from the BBC’s library, and have mostly repeats of the same stuff outside of prime time. Drama’s content could air in the daytime schedule, with Gold having the lucrative evening slots.

The UKTV listings is mad sometime.
I have seen Comedy shows on GOLD (UKTV's Comedy channel) and Yesterday and Drama. The Bill on Drama and W (and not Ailbi?) |

UKTV aren't going to want to merge channels when they get significantly more combined ratings keeping them separate. And they are more likely to make something FTA first, if it isn't already, as that usually leads to a sizable ratings bump. Quote:

It's always seemed odd to me that a factual history channel shows sitcoms.

I recall on another tv forum, which shall remain unmentioned, that they did not like discussion of speculation on UKGOLD potentially joining the freeview service. I do wonder if gold will launch, it would be a nice addition, as I really would prefer not to bother with now or something just to get it.

I think most Freeview users would welcome the arrival of GOLD to Freeview.
