Starting from this week, viewers will be able to tune into the following channels.
ITV Quiz, a fresh channel dedicated to quizzes, will be replacing the now defunct ITVBe.
It will broadcast a range of quiz shows between 9am to 1am.
This will include popular shows such as Tipping Point, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Lingo, Tenable, and Deal or No Deal.
It can be found on Freeview Channel 28.
OUTflix Proud, which will be on Hybrid Freeview Channel 288, will show LGBTQ+ original series from the OUTtv streaming platform.
According to Cord Busters, Brad Danks, CEO of OUTtv, said the launch is "a major step forward in our mission to make LGBTQ+ stories more accessible to viewers around the world".
Shopping channel Must Have Ideas, which is also available on Freesat and Sky, will soon make its way onto Freeview too.
It will be found on Freeview Channel 96 when it starts broadcasting.
Freeview watchers looking to enjoy the new channels should check to see if their TVs need to be retuned.

Some devices will return automatically, but others will need to be done manually - so it's worth checking to see if your TV is one of them.
Channel names and numbers will not be correct or up to date on a TV that has not been properly returned.
But anyone looking to make sure their tech is up to date should also take note of the latest iPhone news.
Apple fans across the world are due to get the free iOS 26 upgrade later this year, giving their iPhones bonus features at no extra cost.
Phones as old as the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE (2nd gen) will be able to get iOS 26.
But you won't if you've got an iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or iPhone XS Max.
Anything older than that won't be eligible for the upgrade either.

If you're looking to spice up your gruelling morning commute, or desperately need something to keep the kids distracted on a long car journey - puzzles like this are a lifesaver. But brainteasers aren't just a boredom buster, and have actually been linked to improving one's attention span and concentration levels.

Fail, and it might be a sign you need to book an appointment at Specsavers... READ MORE: You've got a high IQ if you can spot hiding elephant in 15 seconds The image above depicts a sea of OOOs amongst an ombre background of orange and yellow. But, hiding in plain sight is actually a rogue number - and you need to find it in just 12 seconds to prove you have laser-sharp vision. So, set your timer and get searching! As previously reported, your eyes will naturally gravitate towards all the OOOs rather than immediately identifying the numbers - but stay focused, as time is of the essence. Remember, you've only got 12 seconds, so use all of the attention to detail and pattern recognition you can muster. If you're staring at the image and don't know where to begin, perhaps a hint might help. Instead of squandering time scanning the top of the picture, let your gaze drift towards the bottom of the image. Still feeling stumped, or think you've finally cracked it? Scroll down to the bottom of the article to find the answer. If you solved that brainteaser without even breaking a sweat, it's time to take things up a notch.

"Mrs. Watt has 5 children. The oldest four children's names are Lala, Lele, Lili, and Lolo," the riddle reads. "What is the name of the youngest child - why do people laugh at her name?" Many people guessed the child's name is Lulu, because the first four children have the same name with different vowels - and 'U' is the last one available. However, this is not the right answer. Feeling stuck? Thought so! Up for another mental workout? Check out our collection of tricky brainteasers, riddles, and puzzles here.

Weekly horoscope for July 6 – July 12: What the stars have in store for every zodiac sign revealed
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes. Read on to see what's written in the stars for you today. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20 12 The final hot-shot planet move of 2025 finds Uranus upending your chart of communication and contacts, bringing with it a general sense of excitement. You may feel an urge to break bonds or cut talks, but it's best to stick with situations until you are truly sure. In love, the less someone says, the more they can mean. A full moon of surprise success can help restart a business plan. TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21 12 What matters most to you is in your personal spotlight, as you see that value can lie so much deeper than cash. "Surprise" decisions linked to your future can feel so familiar once you make them, and as major planets move, this can be the week to do so. The next seven years can be quite an adventure. A learning path may start slow but speed up very fast, so give it some thought. GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21 12 Your own sign welcomes the most unruly, imaginative of planets, Uranus, to start a seven-year spell of making your own happiness your hot pick. You know you have sidelined true needs and feelings; now excuses fade and excitement can flourish. In love, the full moon's emotional depth helps your eyes say everything your heart feels. If you're single, your soulmate has a transforming job. CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22 12 Keeping secrets may have become second nature, but it's time now to break the habit. You have support from planets of independence and honesty, but the true determination comes from inside yourself. A more open atmosphere, at home and at work, is where you can grow best. In love terms, too, holding back any doubts may feel like a strong move, but it can weaken you. LEO JULY 23 - AUG 23 12 Love is on the brink of a new phase that may challenge you more, but also reward you better. If you're with a partner and resist two-way change because you're still unsure, this week's big planet moves can inspire courage. If you're single, ditching a past dating plan and starting afresh, with input from your oldest friend, can be a positive move. Shimmering surfaces link to luck. VIRGO AUG 24 - SEPT 22 12 Your pure personal creativity is intensified by the full moon, so big ideas can come to you in the smallest, quietest moments. But you will instantly recognize these as something special. Matching music to special moments is a key skill all week, and you can also return to a goal everyone else may have considered too outrageous for you. It's time to prove them all wrong! LIBRA SEPT 23 - OCT 23 12 So many barriers fall, boundaries extend, and doors open wide as planet Uranus shifts to a fellow air sign. Maximizing this momentous zodiac time may not always be easy, but you can learn so much about yourself and your life. Resetting romance more on your terms can be one outcome. If you're single, this includes road-testing two worlds-apart potential romances. SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22 12 Everything you think you know can be changing along with Uranus; a time of new self-awareness can begin. You now see where you may have made too many sacrifices or wasted too much time, and you focus instead on being your most authentic self. This can make your closest bonds mean more to you, as you see and accept clearly what you need to do next. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21 12 The right deal is not always the most obvious in love and life. This week you feel rebellion stir deep inside, plus the ability to shake up situations everyone else may feel are fixed. The next seven years can take you towards new titles, looks, addresses, plus a partnership that refreshes romance every day and never gets dull. A money-minded moon monitors impulse buys. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20 12 Your career chart is more open than it's been for years, so this can be your moment to turn vague ambitions into serious action. Making one call or writing one message can be Step One on a thrilling new path. Plus your mindset changes, to see mistakes as positive steps, not negative obstacles. In love, with the Capricorn full moon, you can say and do unusually daring things. AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 18 12 You've never been one to follow the pack or the rules, and this week's Uranus shift emphasizes how unique you truly are. There's such a strong chart creative streak, but it's a good idea to take your time, don't rush headlong and headstrong into the first option. Better ones may be ahead. Passion is wide awake, and rousing a previously sleeping part of your heart. PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20 12 It really matters to you to be a good friend and family member. But your chart question this week asks - do you get back as much as you give? It may be time to scale back your gifts, in everything from time to lifts to cash, if you know this is a one-way situation. In love, feeling secure in yourself starts with accepting your flaws. If single, your dream date has a guidance job.
