If you have a Freeview TV, you’re in for a treat this week. A surprise change is set to happen tomorrow, September 4, as a festival channel makes its return.
Summer has just ended, but households can already gear up for winter by tuning in to GREAT! Christmas. This channel will temporarily replace GREAT! Romance and 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. Here are the channel numbers:
– Freeview: channel 52
– Sky: channel 319
– Virgin Media: channel 424
Mirror Online has previewed the upcoming lineup for GREAT! Christmas, revealing a host 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 excitement about the launch, stating, “Everyone loves Christmas, and the earlier it starts, the better. 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 the warmth of Christmas romance and family joy.”
After the channel debuts, you may need to retune your Freeview TV, but in most cases, GREAT! Christmas should automatically appear on your planner.
The channel is set to go live this Thursday, September 4.
