FREEVIEW has undergone a fresh shake-up that sees the arrival of some new channels – and the disappearance of others.
And the biggest of the bunch is a Brit nostalgia channel, Rewind TV, which has been exclusive to Sky up until now.

There’s also Worzel Gummidge Down UnderAlamy
Rewind TV burst onto the airwaves in May but from this week it’s available for free on Freeview.
It broadcasts a number of old favourites, including Drop The Dead Donkey, GlobeLink News, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Worzel Gummidge Down Under, and A Fine Romance, starring Judi Dench and her late husband Michael.
Here are some more classics you can expect to see on the channel:
Return of The Saint
Department S
Whicker’s World
That’s My Dog
Surgical Spirit
The Cuckoo Waltz
Dick Turpin
Huckleberry Finn and His Friends
Rewind TV can be found on Freeview channel number 95.
Meanwhile, on number 96 you’ll now find Christian channel SonLife.
And that’s not all – there’s a free movie channel too.
Wedotv movies can be accessed via channel 275.
But this is a streamed channel so you’ll need to have an internet-connected Freeview TV or box to access it.
Sadly, some channels have also disappeared in the latest overhaul.
Real-life drama and stories channel GREAT! Real recently closed, so it has disappeared from the TV guide position 61.
Mech+ on 276 has also gone.
There are some changes to existing channels as well, including GREAT! Romance.
It has temporarily been replaced with GREAT! Christmas.
The Christmas-themed offering landed on September 5 and has already divided opinion, with some viewers saying it’s too early.
“Hold on we haven’t passed Halloween yet for Christmas,” one user wrote on X.
But others were more welcoming of the channel, saying:” The obvious answer is if you think it’s too early don’t watch, simples!”
GREAT! Christmas can be found on channel number 52.
Elsewhere, That’s Rock MCR has rebranded to That’s Fabulous on number 78.
“You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date,” Freeview warned.

How to cut streaming bills with top FREE TV
Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime don't come cheap - and year on year subscription costs seem to go up.
Fortunately there are loads of free streaming TV alternatives not everyone knows about.
And we’re not just talking about BBC iPlayer and ITVX.

Taylor has remained in Utah with her three children.
Despite having a social media following before the show, she went viral after admitting a “soft swinging” experience with one of the other girls in the show.
She explained that this was something she did with her then husband, Tate, describing it as an encounter where you “just hook up but you don’t go all the way”.
In the May 2022 video, she acknowledges there was an occasion where she was intimate without Tate present and that this was outside of their marital agreement.
Taylor also suggested that the scandal extended to others in the group but never named other participants directly.
She said: “No one was innocent. Everyone hooked up with, like, everyone in this situation.”
Her controversial background did not end there as she was arrested in the state in February 2023.

This led to the reality star being charged with assault and domestic violence in the presence of a child.
The following year she reached a plea deal after admitting guilt to aggravated assault.
Many of her fans were shocked at the discovery of her arrest due to her social media career being centred around family and her friends who are also Mormon mothers.
However, a year on from what Taylor has described as the “worst day” of her life, she took to TikTok to say that she was “one year sober” and that hitting “rock bottom” was a “wake-up call moment”.

She has referred to her Mormon friends as her “sister wives” before.

The cast of the series extended to Mikayla Matthews, Whitney Leavitt Jen Affleck, Mayci Neeley, Demi Engemann and Jessi Ngatikaura.
After admitting the swinging scandal, Taylor seems to have been “shunned” from the friendship group ever since, proclaiming that the “majority” of MomTok were not involved.

In May 2022, Taylor and Tate officially announced their divorce on TikTok, after she was accused of cheating.

According to the show’s official synopsis, the series follows the “scandalous world of a group of Mormon mom influencers implodes when they get caught in the midst of a swinging sex scandal that makes international headlines.”
The scandal began in 2022 after MomTok frontrunner Taylor Frankie Paul revealed she was divorcing her ex-husband, Tate Paul.
During a TikTok livestream, Taylor shared with her followers that the divorce was prompted by his involvement in “soft swinging” among the MomTok community.
Taylor said she and Tate agreed they wouldn’t “go all the way” with the other members.
“The whole group was intimate with each other,” she said, adding, “Tate has made out with several girls and other things, and I’ve made out with all of the husbands and vice versa.”
Two months after the news went viral, Taylor revealed the man she “cheated with” was her new boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen.
The series stars Taylor, Jen Affleck, Layla Taylor, Demi Engemann, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mikayla Matthews, and Whitney Leavitt.
Jen was one of the eight original Utah Tiktokers who were selected to appear in the first season of the Hulu breakout reality show.
Ever since the first airing on Friday, September 6 2024, fans have questioned whether her surname relates to Ben Affleck, the two time Academy Award winner.
Others may know the Californian BAFTA winner from when he starred in Gone Girl, Good Will Hunting, The Accountant and Pearl Harbour among many more.

Jen was born on May 29, 1999, into the Mormon faith.
She has admitted that she has struggled in the past to abstain from alcohol, something that the religion believes is vital to uphold.

Aged 21, Jen and her husband Zac Affleck, became parents to their first child, Nora.
The pair have since welcomed a second, Luca.

On Wednesday, September 19, 2024 Jen posted a photo of the couple on Instagram to reflect the realities of having a family at such a young age.
She wrote: “We were just kids when we got married.
“Young, naïve and inexperienced we truly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.
“Coming from completely different backgrounds, families, upbringings, it didn’t seem to make sense. We were polar opposites.
“But I can confidently say he’s always supported and believed in me more than anyone else.”
InstagramThe photo which appeared alongside Jen’s statement to address the criticism Zac has faced after the show aired[/caption]
The post comes after fans were quick to question the relationship and the pair faced backlash.
Following Hulu’s airing of an episode, Zac was criticised for how he treated his wife during the show in particular because he threatened divorce.

What is #MomTok?

Jen Affleck is just one cast member that has gained traction on social media.
A group of the Mormon women all began posting on TikTok in 2020.
Although they gained a following, it was only after the swinging scandal was revealed that they rose to fame.
Taylor Frankie Paul, Camille Munday and Miranda McWhorter are part of the core group who found a social media presence before the show and have even dubbed themselves “the sister wives”.
Whilst Hulu’s exclusive eight-part series was apparently inspired by the swinging scandal which Taylor Frankie Paul exposed, the show features cast members who were not involved in the controversy.
The cast includes Mikayla Matthews, Layla Taylor, Whitney Leavitt, Mayci Neeley, Demi Engemann, Jessi Ngatikaura and of course Jen Affleck.
How is Jen Affleck related to Ben Affleck?

Despite some questioning the tenuous link to the famous actor, it seems Jen’s husband, Zac, ensures a relation between them.
According to the Mormon couple, Zac Affleck is Ben and Casey’s second cousin.
Jen confirmed the familial link in an interview with People magazine.
It seems Zac is the son of the famous actors’ cousin, Dave Affleck.
