One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

Freeview channel 205 POP linear channel and Freeview channel 208 POP Player will closes on Monday 1st December 2025 Closure of Pop Channel on Freeview Key Details Date of Closure: The Pop channel will cease broadcasting on Freeview on December 1, 2025. Affected Channels: Both Pop and Tiny Pop will no longer be available on Freeview, Sky, or Virgin Media. Reason for Closure: The decision is due to a significant decline in viewership and commercial viability in the children's TV market. Transition to Streaming New Format: After the closure, Pop will transition to a streaming-only service on Freeview. This means viewers will need an internet-connected device to access the content. FAST Channels: Pop will continue to be available through Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) platforms, allowing access to its content online. Remaining Options Other Free Channels: After the closure, the main free-to-air options for children's programming will be limited to BBC, CBBC, CBeebies, and Channel 5's Milkshake!. This marks the end of over two decades of broadcasting for the Pop channels, which have been a staple in children's television in the UK.

@anon_opin I like the reruns of things like Minder and Bergerac on Freeview, but I don't bother with anything else because it's shite. Too many stupid gameshows and tedious reality TV doesn't help.

@sarky_sheena I just stayed in Travelodge in Mickelgate York. The bed was bliss and I had tea and coffee and Freeview. I really appreciate the cost as a poor author needing to stay in a hotel for research.
