    Only 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 😂

    @sophielouisecc I have never seen GBNews, mainly because we have no coverage here from it on Freeview Lite. But I have never spoken to anyone who has watched it?

    @FreeviewTV Everybody is telling me that I can still access ITV Hub by other means, but that's not the point. The WHOLE POINT of Freeview Play is its simplicity. You just go back in time in the EPG and it launches the appropriate catch-up service. This change completely breaks that.

    @thejohnnylowe @riceuten @ArchRose90 Quote some audited figures, all the ones I have seen show they are well behind BBC News and Sky News. Never seen GB News because of its lack of national coverage on Freeview.

    @ThatTimWalker @skytv Was thinking of cancelling Sky and going back to Freeview as never anything on worth watching. This just about confirms it!
