Discovery coming to Freeview

The company behind the Discovery Channel has secured a slot on Freeview.

Using content from the existing Discovery-branded channels, the new channel on Freeview apparently won’t carry the Discovery name, and will be free-to-view from early 2009.

The slot on the Freeview network was put up for auction by SDN (owned by ITV) in June 2008 and is on Multiplex A.
