Millions of Brits unlock three new TV channels in huge ‘June update' for popular free telly service including ‘ITV Quiz'
MILLIONS of Brits are getting access to three news channels in a big June update of a major TV service. Freeview watchers can enjoy the new channels as the changes start to roll out. 1 Starting from this week, viewers will be able to tune into the following channels. ITV Quiz, a fresh channel dedicated to quizzes, will be replacing the now defunct ITVBe. It will broadcast a range of quiz shows between 9am to 1am. This will include popular shows such as Tipping Point, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Lingo, Tenable, and Deal or No Deal. It can be found on Freeview Channel 28. OUTflix Proud, which will be on Hybrid Freeview Channel 288, will show LGBTQ+ original series from the OUTtv streaming platform. According to Cord Busters, Brad Danks, CEO of OUTtv, said the launch is "a major step forward in our mission to make LGBTQ+ stories more accessible to viewers around the world". Shopping channel Must Have Ideas, which is also available on Freesat and Sky, will soon make its way onto Freeview too. It will be found on Freeview Channel 96 when it starts broadcasting. Freeview watchers looking to enjoy the new channels should check to see if their TVs need to be retuned. Kay Burley joins This Morning in TV return after departure from Sky News Some devices will return automatically, but others will need to be done manually - so it's worth checking to see if your TV is one of them. Channel names and numbers will not be correct or up to date on a TV that has not been properly returned. But anyone looking to make sure their tech is up to date should also take note of the latest iPhone news. Apple fans across the world are due to get the free iOS 26 upgrade later this year, giving their iPhones bonus features at no extra cost. Phones as old as the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE (2nd gen) will be able to get iOS 26. But you won't if you've got an iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or iPhone XS Max. Anything older than that won't be eligible for the upgrade either.
