[Media Boy UK]

Here is the list info I have on what may happen this week on Freeview (Info may change):

June:
16th > Freeview will close for viewers in the South Lanarkshire village of Glespin due to Wind farm interference signals.
18th > Rewind TV moves to Freeview channel 81.
18th > 4Seven launches on relay areas when it moves from COM5 to D3&4.

Still Unconfirmed for June 18th:

*That's Pride changes to That's Dance
*That's TV 4 may launch (This change has not been confirmed by Sky)
*Blaze +1 may close

That’s TV 4 ?! Seriously?! They’d be better making more of their existing services available to more people on DTT.

That's TV 4 rumour was started by hanssolo over on DS Forum ( see post 28) https://forums.digitalspy.com/discus...ment_106506670

My own view is IF any new channel was set to launch on Freeview by That's Media it would be any of the following channels.

*That's Oldies
*That's Dance
*That's Melody

But two of them can easy appear on Local Mux that - That's Media own 63.8% of.
