Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, EnglandOnly reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

Crypto is the Future (@JosieGibsonBBuk) reported@PopeyeFreeview Freeview will close bit later then sky due to contacts ending on differnt dates The main share holder has stage four cancer and that’s the main reason for it closing down
-
Essex Baldy (@darrensharp73) reported@TalkTV @cjsnowdon @iancollinsuk I don’t necessarily believe a sub model would work, but as an initial step they should require subscription-based logins at least for their TV and web-based services (radio maybe less practical). Maybe just have SD broadcasts on Freeview and require streaming for HD due to practicalities (Sky shouldn’t be an issue). This way those who don’t pay (for a license) will find it hard to view, and it would also cut off more overseas users who view without paying.

In 2017-18 it received a grant, external from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572).

Tom (@TomCushnie) reported@SW18_67FC @johnrobinson07 It's not more saturated too, it's shot in a Full Range and de-converted down to Limited Range to fit in our poor freeview infrastructure, it makes red and yellows considerably crushed. That's why the Holland game looked the worse so far

Jane Fleming (@fleming77) reportedThe government is considering the future of television distribution, which could affect the prospects of the digital terrestrial platform that is marketed at Freeview. and the public service broadcasters that fund it, wants to switch if off by 2034.

It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.
