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.'

Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day. Whilst a third simply gasped: 'Wow!' Not only this, but someone else chimed in and asked: "How the hell do they get the beds in and out?"

UK police investigate Bob Vylan pre-Glastonbury concert
Punk duo Bob Vylan are being investigated by British police after allegedly calling for "death to every single IDF (Israel Defence Forces) soldier out there" at a concert one month before Glastonbury. The pair - Bobby Vylan and bandmate Bobbie Vylan - are already being investigated by Avon and Somerset Police over their controversial appearance at Worthy Farm when rapper Bobby Vylan led crowds in chants of "death, death to the IDF" during their livestreamed performance at the Somerset music festival last weekend. In video footage, Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, appears to be at Alexandra Palace telling crowds: "Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF." Bob Vylan had supported Iggy Pop at the London venue on his tour on 28 May, a month before Glastonbury. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said on Wednesday: "Officers are investigating comments allegedly made during a concert at Alexandra Palace earlier this year. "The decision to investigate follows the emergence of footage which (sic) appears to have been filmed at the venue on 28 May 2025." It is not clear when the investigation was launched. The probe comes after it was revealed Bob Vylan will no longer play the Radar festival in Manchester. The duo were due to headline the Saturday slot but no longer appear in the line-up. A statement posted on the Radar festival's Instagram account said: "Bob Vylan will not be appearing at Radar festival this weekend." It has since updated its website, changing the Saturday slot to "Headliner TBA" (to be announced). In response, the group shared the festival's statement on their Instagram story, adding the caption: "Silence is not an option. We will be fine, the people of Palestine are hurting. Manchester we will be back." The rap group had issued a statement on Tuesday claiming they were being "targeted for speaking up" after Avon and Somerset Police began its investigation. The BBC has also faced criticism for livestreaming the set and has since apologised, describing the chants as "antisemitic sentiments" that were "unacceptable". It later emerged BBC Director-General Tim Davie was at Glastonbury while the performance was being livestreamed. A BBC spokesperson said: "The Director-General was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage." On Monday, the group were banned from entering the US, ahead of their tour, with Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau revoking the duo's visas for their "hateful tirade at Glastonbury". They have also been pulled from their upcoming performance at a German music venue. Bob Vylan are expected to perform at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August.
