The channels come from ITV, Channel 4 and 5 (formerly Channel 5). ITV will launch two streamed channels, The Chase and Saturday Night Every Night. Channel 4 will be launching 4Reality – which will be home to shows like Married at First Sight – 4Homes and 4Life (w/t).
The channels will launch on the Freely TV guide exclusively later in 2025.
