If you have a Freeview TV, exciting news awaits you this week. Tomorrow, on September 4, a surprise change will occur with the revival of a festival channel.
Despite summer just ending, households can already prepare for winter by tuning in to GREAT! Christmas. This channel, temporarily replacing GREAT! Romance, will showcase movies and shows with a festive theme.
In addition to airing on Freeview, the new service will also be available on Sky and Virgin Media. Find the channel numbers listed below:
– Freeview: channel 52
– Sky: channel 319
– Virgin Media: channel 424
Mirror Online has previewed the upcoming schedule for GREAT! Christmas, revealing a lineup of festive treats, including movies like “Road to Christmas,” “Love You Like Christmas,” and “Deck the Heart.”
Steve Hornsey, Vice President of Movies and Entertainment at Narrative Entertainment, expressed enthusiasm about the launch, stating, “Our research indicates that many Brits are eager to embrace the festive spirit early, and GREAT! Christmas provides the perfect platform for them. Last year, GREAT! Christmas was once again the UK’s favorite seasonal channel, and now it’s back for those seeking to immerse themselves in the heartwarming world of Christmas romance and family joy.”
Following the channel’s debut, you may need to retune your Freeview TV, but initial checks are recommended, as GREAT! Christmas should automatically appear on the planner.
The channel will be live starting this Thursday, September 4.
