Thanks for that Ozat, I watched a programme (I think it was BBC 2 TV) called Spotlight yesterday, but it was not Country and Western, perhaps there are two different progs called the same.

Spotlight TV has officially ceased broadcasting. A new channel called Music & Memories has taken its place on ChannelBox (Freeview 271) with similar content. There is also an Irish Country music evening every week in a Monday on Channel 7 TV that features programmmes that used to be broadcast on Spotlight. This can be found on Vision TV (Freeview 264) or on Sky channel 182.

Are there any spare 24 hour Freeview slots available?

I ask because it's believed that Christmas24 will be going FTA on 1 November.

I'm wondering if it will stay FTA after Christmas, but this business model usually means that the channels also join Freeview.

I wouldn't go as far as "usually". It's far from a guarantee.

COM4/SDN has got one slot free.

What I said was a sweeping generalisation of my recollection of my many years watching developments regards TV in UK. I can only give a gut gist, I can't give specifics, it was simply my immediate reaction to it.

Sorry I can't give you a more specific answer Richard.

Due to today changes on Freeview:

*Freeview has NO room to launch any more new channels unless they make a bid to use Together TV slot on COM4/SDN.

*No broadcaster wants a Slot on SDN that has been open to any broadcaster since June 2022 so SDN has given it for FREE to Together TV.

Here is today changes in full:

Information from UK Terrestrial TV:

*NOW 80s has been delisted from Manchester TV Network on Ch. 77.
*Clubland TV has been delisted from Manchester TV Network on Ch. 80.
*NOW 90s has been delisted from Manchester TV Network on Ch. 87.
*Together TV has moved from ch 83 to ch 92 on COM5 and changed to Together TV+1
*Together TV has been added to COM4 on ch 83
*RealityXtra 2 has been added to COM4 on ch 69
*Pet Collective has been added to COM4 on ch 278

There's bound to be another change on the way because RealityXtra 2 being on a Main multiplex whilst RealityXtra is on the Local multiplex makes no sense.
