That’s TV Launches New Freeview Channel

That’s TV has rolled out its brand-new Freeview TV sister channel, That’s TV 2.

That’s TV 2 promises to bring a raft of classic TV shows to Freeview viewers, with its debut marking 35 years since Home and Away first aired in the U.K. The show’s first season will run on the channel.

Other iconic series making a comeback for the That’s TV 2 channel launch include Humans, the BAFTA-winning thriller about synthetic robots, along with Baywatch and Prisoner: Cell Block H.

Kris Vaiksalu, head of programming for That’s TV and That’s TV 2, said: “Over the past year, That’s TV has reached new heights, and we now have a schedule bursting with iconic TV shows from Benidorm to Shameless. There are so many more iconic TV shows we would love to show but we had simply run out of hours to fit them in. So I asked myself, What would Einstein do? It’s been a lot of work but we’re hugely excited and privileged to be launching That’s TV 2 as our second archive TV channel. Our aim is to make it a complete nostalgia-fest with such iconic shows from the beginning as Home and Away, Humans, Prisoner: Cell Block H and Baywatch. That’s TV 2 does what it says on the tin—it’s a second helping of iconic TV from the That’s TV team.”
