Overview

• Channel 4 became the first public service broadcaster to add its own branded channels to Freely on Wednesday.
• The new streams—4Reality, 4Homes and 4Life—offer curated lineups spanning reality, home and design, and lifestyle programming.
• Scheduled titles include Married At First Sight, Naked Attraction and First Dates on 4Reality, A Place in the Sun, Location, Location, Location and Grand Designs on 4Homes, and Travel Man and The Dog House on 4Life.
• Everyone TV says the three channels are exclusive to Freely, which delivers more than 50 live channels and on-demand content over Wi‑Fi without an aerial or subscription.
• Broadcasters recently urged the Government to protect public service media on profit-driven platforms, as Ofcom reported YouTube is the UK's second most-watched media service and called for legislation on online prominence and fair terms.
