United Kingdom, 04.12.25: Everyone TV - the organisation leading the evolution of free TV in the UK - today announces more streaming channels will be added to the live and on demand streaming platform, Freely, confirming partnerships with Warner Bros. Discovery UK & Ireland and CNN.
CNN Headlines, a channel featuring the top stories in global news, business and sport, tailored for international audiences, is now live on Freely on channel 305.
From early 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery UK & Ireland’s six free-to-air linear channels will start streaming on Freely. These include Quest, Quest Red, Food Network, DMAX, Really and TLC - which moves to free-to-air in January. The channel line-up brings viewers some of the UK's most popular British factual entertainment series from The Yorkshire Auction House to Richard Hammond’s Workshop. From January, it will also be bolstered by a new-look TLC, offering a broad mix of entertainment with hit scripted comedies The Big Bang Theory and brand new spin-off Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, as well as unscripted series including the highly-anticipated return of Mock the Week and new show Zero Stars, with comedians Roisin Conaty and Sara Pascoe. Outside of discovery+, Freely is the only place to stream popular channels Quest, Quest Red, Food Network, DMAX, Really and a new look TLC, for free, all in one place.
The live TV offering on Freely continues to expand, not just with streamed versions of familiar favourites previously seen on Freeview, but also with new never-seen-before channels thanks to the increased capabilities streaming offers. These include Channel 4’s 4Life, 4Homes and 4Reality, plus five new streamed channels from AMC Networks International.
This latest set of deals comes hot on the heels of the recent announcement that Hearst Networks EMEA, Bloomberg TV+, Talking Pictures TV, Gemporia and Local TV will also join the free streaming platform. Talking Pictures launched on Freely channel 36 in November, with Hearst Networks EMEA streaming Blaze on the platform from next week and the remaining channels set to launch in the new year.
The new additions mean Freely will carry over 70 live channels via Wi-Fi, alongside more than 75,000 hours of on demand content. As audiences increasingly choose to stream live TV, Freely is fast becoming the primary destination for streaming live and on demand TV, all in one place, for free. With accelerating growth and further expansion planned for 2026, Freely has been independently forecast to be the largest TV device platform in the UK within the next five years.*
Freely is available on new smart TVs from manufacturers including Hisense, Bush, Toshiba, Panasonic, JVC, Sharp, TCL, Amazon Fire TVs and METZ. ‘Plug-in and stream’ devices launched last month, making it even easier for households to upgrade their existing TVs with the platform.
Deep Halder, CCO, Everyone TV, said: “These additional channels have so much to offer the Freely audience, further expanding the line-up for UK homes who are increasingly choosing to stream live TV. From global news delivered by CNN to the extensive portfolio of entertainment shows from Warner Bros. Discovery, who recently announced some exciting linear-first commissions of fan favourites including a new-look Mock the Week coming to TLC next year. Viewers will be able to easily and seamlessly access these brand-new shows, all in one place, for free, on Freely.”
