The new service will be available next year

A new TV service has been launched that will combine the live schedules from public service broadcasters into one platform. It is free of charge and will be made available next year.

Called 'Freely', it will be built in to smart TVs and feature a line-up of PSBs and other free-to-air channels. It will be run by Everyone TV, previously named Digital UK, which is the platform operator of Freeview and its satellite twin Freesat, PA reports. From next year, people will be able to browse channels through a programme guide and use new functions to find shows directly from live TV.

Under the draft Media Bill, PSB services are set to be updated for the digital world. Alex Mahon, chief executive of Channel 4, said the move has "never been more important".
