Another month, another Freeview content drop! A couple of new channels landed on your Freeview EPG at the end of April, and a few more underwent a rebrand.
As always, make sure you retune your boxes to get the latest EPG catalogue of over 100 channels!
New Channels on Freeview April 2025
First off, brand new channels!
Nolly Africa
The aptly named Nolly Africa is now on the EPG at Freeview Channel 287.
Somewhat out of left-field, Nolly Africa is home of all things Nollywood. That is, if you hadn't got your detective caps on, another spin on "Hollywood" in the same way "Bollywood" is.
While "Bollywood" refers to Hindi filmmaking, "Nollywood" refers to Nigerian movies!
So, on Nolly Africa you can expect 24/7 content from Nigeria and the rest of Africa, although specifically "Nollywood" caters to the Western audience as the majority of content is spoken English, so no having to read subtitles!
Channel Rebrands on Freeview April 2025
Local TV channels are always shuffling about, and this month is no different.
NVTV
The local channel NVTV found at Freeview Channel 7 has now rebranded to become That's TV (Belfast).
That's TV is a huge network on Freeview now, with a range of content across all genres and all regions. From docudramas to news and reality TV, That's TV is expanding to hit two more regional areas...
Sheffield Live
The local channel Sheffield Live found at Freeview Channel 7 has now rebranded to become That's TV (Sheffield).
The second channel to be turned into a spot for That's TV this month, you can access more "iconic" TV right from your EPG through Freeview now.
Remember to Retune
Especially those living near Belfast and Sheffield, do make sure you retune! Users in these areas are more likely to experience a disruption to their EPG as the local channels in those regions were changed in this update.
Until next time, enjoy the start of our great British summertime!
