Freeview TV gets much-needed boost that’s already available on Sky

Freeview TV Introduces Rewind TV: A Nostalgic Boost for Viewers

If you are a Freeview user, get ready for an exciting new addition to your television lineup. The launch of Rewind TV on September 18 will bring classic content to more households, reminiscent of what has already been available on Sky since May. This service offers a treasure trove of popular shows from past decades that viewers can enjoy without the need for a monthly subscription. Here’s what you can expect from Rewind TV:

  • Classic shows like The Prisoner and Drop the Dead Donkey
  • Children’s favorites such as Worzel Gummidge
  • Comedy series like Whose Line Is It Anyway and Tony Hancock
  • Dramas including The Charmer starring Nigel Havers
  • Factual programs like Whicker’s World and World in Action

“Rewind Television is the destination channel for curated classic TV,” confirmed the platform’s team.

Once Rewind TV goes live, Freeview users can tune in to channel 95 to access this nostalgic content. But that’s not all that Freeview has in store for viewers this September. Prepare for a festive update as GREAT! Christmas makes its debut. This channel will be showcasing a variety of Christmas-themed shows and movies from now until early January. Some of the content available includes titles like “Christmas Next Door,” “The Mistletoe Promise,” and “Miss Christmas.”

“The home of Christmas from September to December! Underneath our tree it’s fit to burst with great Christmas films ranging from Christmas classics to hidden festive treats,” shared the team at GREAT!

You typically won’t need to retune your devices to access these new channels, but if you don’t see them on your TV guide, a quick reset might do the trick. Stay tuned for these exciting additions to your Freeview experience, bringing a mix of nostalgia and holiday cheer right into your living room.
