Channel 4's FAST channels on Freely
Channel 4 has launched three new FAST stations on Freely, the streaming-powered service from the UK’s PSBs.
The new channels are live now and offer programming from the broadcaster’s extensive archive in the genres of reality TV, property and real lives.
The three stations are:
- 4Reality (channel 67): sometimes risqué, often funny and always entertaining. 4Reality from Channel 4 – the original home of the best reality TV – brings favourites across real-life drama, sass, romance and rivalry from Married at First Sight, Naked Attraction and First Dates to Made in Chelsea.
- 4Homes (channel 68): from massive mansions to amazing spaces, from places in the sun and DIY in chateaus, to homes in the best-of-British locations, 4Homes showcases all places great and small spanning shows such as Grand Designs, A Place in the Sun and Location, Location, Location.
- 4Life (channel 82): real lives, real people (and real dogs too). And huge helpings of delicious food. Meet people doing amazing things – often in beautiful places. 4Life showcases the great content genres channel 4 viewers love including travel, food and animals, from The Dog House to Travel Man.
“We’re proud to lead the way among Britain’s broadcasters by enhancing Freely’s offering,” said Grace Boswood, C4’s director of technology and distribution.
“The launch of our new streamed channels further accelerates our transformation into the streaming age as the world’s first public service streamer. It also continues our record of digital distribution firsts to benefit advertisers and viewers.”
The stations are initially exclusive to Freely and Channel 4 has yet to announce plans for them to launch elsewhere, including even on the broadcaster’s own streaming service.
