Freesat, today announced the addition of six new radio and television channels launching this Friday, the 5th September.
The newest additions to the Freesat roster particularly strengthen the platform’s radio line-up, including from the Republic of Ireland RTE’s Radio 1, RTE 2fm, RTE lyric fm and RTE Raidio na Gaeltachta. This means that RTE Radio 1 is broadcasting for the GAA All Ireland Hurling Final this weekend, and the All Ireland Football Final on 21 September.
Also new to the platform are the three time-delayed services from Channel 4, including Film4 + 1, More4 + 1, and E4 + 1. All channels will show identical programming to the originals, but time-delayed by one hour.
The Channel 4+1 stations are already free-to-air and will join Freesat at a later date.
All channels and variants will automatically be added to the set-top boxes, so viewers will not need to take any action to view the new services.
