FREEVIEW has announced a shake-up affecting 15 channels, which includes launching four new stations.
However, the channel shuffle will see three channels disappear from your TV Guide forever.
"On 12th June 2024 some broadcasters are making important changes to their channels," Freeview states in an update on its website.
"You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date."
The three channels closing down are TV Extra, TCC and Earthx TV.
