A TV channel dedicated to classic shows is set to make a big change to its Freeview service later this month.
Rewind TV is a British free-to-air channel that showcases nostalgic series like Diff’rent Strokes, Wings and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
TV channel Rewind TV is set to make a big change to its Freeview serviceIt is now set to change the channel it is broadcast on for the second time this year on June 18.
The content is set to remain the same, but from next Wednesday, Rewind TV will switch from Freeview channel 92 to channel 81 – which currently hosts Blaze+1.
Depending on your TV model you may need to retune it after midday on the 18th.
If you need help retuning your television, Freeview have put together a handy guide.
Sky satellite viewers will be unaffected and can continue to watch on channel 182.
Rewind TV’s new channel means it will sit next to PBS America and archive film and television channel Talking Pictures, which the network’s top brass believe will be a better fit and help to grow its audience.
Jonathan Moore, co-founder of Rewind TV, added: “We believe the Freeview EPG has been cluttered for too long, with shopping and religious channels mixed in among entertainment.
“We’re doing our bit to fix that by placing ourselves nearer to channels that make sense for our audience.”
Rewind TV says the new channel placement creates a natural hub for archive and heritage programming – a curated corner of the Freeview guide for audiences who love vintage drama, iconic films, and timeless documentaries.
Current programming includes classic shows like Fantasy Island, In Loving Memory, Please Sir!, The Monkees and Married… With Children.
Since launching on the Freeview platform last year, initially on channel 95, before moving to 92 in March, Rewind TV has become a favourite for audiences looking to reconnect with the programmes they grew up with.
Jonathan Moore added: “Moving to channel 81 is more than just a number change – it’s a statement about the kind of company we keep.
“Talking Pictures has done a phenomenal job showing the enduring power of classic film and television, and we’re thrilled to be part of what viewers increasingly see as a go-to collection for quality archival content.
“We believe in preserving the past and celebrating the television that helped shape generations.
“This new slot puts us right where we belong – alongside those who share our passion.
“This isn’t just about nostalgia – it’s about access, relevance, and respect for storytelling that still resonates today.
“We’re not just looking back – we’re shining a light on what made these programmes so special and why they still matter.
“We believe the Freeview EPG has been cluttered for too long, with shopping and religious channels mixed in among entertainment.
“We’re doing our bit to fix that by placing ourselves nearer to channels that make sense for our audience.”
