Freeview’s popularity continues to soar, with nearly 23 million Freeview-enabled TVs sold in the UK, solidifying its position as the nation’s most popular TV platform. This impressive milestone reflects the growing demand for free and accessible television, as new channels and content are continuously added without any subscription costs.
Freeview provides over 70 channels via aerials, making it a convenient and budget-friendly option. For those with modern screens, Freeview Play offers live and on-demand shows through broadband connectivity, boasting access to an extensive library of content.
In a further development, Everyone TV, the parent company of Freeview and Freesat, has announced the upcoming launch of Freely, a new free-to-view service that will stream live and on-demand content over the internet. This service will compete directly with Sky’s broadband-based offerings, providing viewers with even more entertainment choices without the need for traditional satellite or cable connections.
