Thanks. I am a developer, the article helps me a lot.
Some channels still don’t work, please check again.
Great post, thanks for sharing
Channels are no longer attractive to device users. It is outdated, not updated daily. Sad because that happened.
I am in Scotland this evening watching Freeview CH8, That’s New Year TV. Something significant has happened this evening and listening to these artists and tunes have cheered me up. I was wondering HOW can I get the full PLAYLIST, where would I look? Anyone any ideas.
This will mean nothing to anyone else out there, but it means the world to me to remember this evening, Friday 1st January 2021. Right now I am listening to the Weather Girls and It’s Raining Men (1982) its 22:08 in Scotland GMT as Chesney Hawkes – The One and Only bets out from 1991.
Can someone help me Mo?
Much appreciated in advance, whoever you are,
Kindest Regards and Happy New Year

Hmm is it still working these days?
look good here
BBC Four and BBC Three and More4 are ITV 3 and ITV 4 are ruining me!
There are plenty of channels to watch
I’ve looked at your list with interest over several issues and am somewhat puzzled; is this supposed to be the current Freeview channel list? It bears scant resemblance to the list I see on my TV – or, indeed, that published on the https://www.terrestrialtv.uk/dtt.cgi?reg=UK.E.ANG.SHTH website.
Either I’m being terribly obtuse or you’re publishing duff gen.
Your comments or guidance would be welcomed.

Great list! It’s super helpful to have all the Freeview channels organized in one place. I appreciate the clear breakdown of radio channels too. Thanks for putting this together!
