Monday 18th September

9.15am UK PSBs unite to create free, live TV over broadband

Britain’s biggest broadcasters announce today their latest collaboration: the development of a new free TV service that will deliver live TV over broadband.

Set for launch in 2024, the new service, called Freely, will be built-in to the next generation of smart TVs and feature a line-up of public service broadcaster content and other free-to-air channels.

It will replicate the terrestrial TV experience, building on the heritage and popularity of the Freeview TV platform, currently used in 16m homes.

EXTERNAL LINK: The UK’s leading public service broadcasters set to evolve free TV for the streaming age.

1.10pm Gyles wears his Radio Times jumper on This Morning

With Radio Times celebrating its centenary next week, Gyles Brandreth wore his Radio Times jumper on today’s edition of This Morning.

Surely worth a long overdue front cover, Radio Times?

Saturday 23rd September

9am BBC Breakfast plays out 2017 edition of Newswatch in error

The Saturday morning repeat airing of Newswatch didn’t go quite to plan this morning during BBC Breakfast.

Instead of a rerun of last night’s edition of Newswatch, viewers were presented with an edition from six years ago.

The 2017 programme played out for over two-and-a-half minutes before it was pulled.

“No conspiracy, but apologies for (some of) an old episode being shown this morning…human error. The correct show will be on tomorrow’s Breakfast (time tba) but can already be viewed on the iPlayer. And it’s well worth a watch!”
