Freeview users will be able to access Pop and Tiny Pop this week following a change to the service.
The changes are part of May's Freeview channel update with the two new channels available this week on channels 205 and 206.
Brits have been advised that they may need to retune their TVs to get access.
The two channels, once broadly available as traditional linear channels, will now be streaming-only services.
An areal and internet connection will be required to view the two kids channels.
They have transferred from local to national coverage meaning they will be much more widely available to viewers.
As streaming-only services the children's TV channels require an internet connected TV to be viewed.
A terrestrial TV signal will also be required to view the new kids channels.
Any standard TV that can access Freeview and has internet connection should be able to watch the new channels.
Freeview's website states: "Tiny Pop offers a fun and safe environment for children aged four to six to laugh, learn and grow, with a brilliantly diverse range of programming and fun interactive games. "
The two channels are now available to a wider audience after the changes.
They were available on Sky and Freeview before the changes but to a smaller audience.
SWAP YOUR STREAMS TO SAVE!
Here's some bill-slashing advice from The Sun's tech editor Sean Keach...
If you're like me, you'll be paying out more than you'd like on subscriptions each month.
It's easy to lose track of where all the money goes, and the fear of missing out makes it hard to bin Netflix.
But if you're paying for several streaming services, you're making a big mistake.
Instead, try something called stream swapping.
Cancel all of your TV subscriptions except for Netflix, then burn through all of the telly you want to watch on the app.
Then cancel that and sign up for another service, like Disney+.
Watch all of the good stuff there and then move on, perhaps to Amazon Video.
Do this with three or four apps and then cycle back to Netflix at the start.
This way, you get to watch all of the top content on each app but you're not paying for them all at the same time.
And you might even get to take advantage of some attractive sign-up offers too.
It could save you hundreds each year if you stick to it.
Pop is aimed at children aged 5-8 while Tiny Pop is aimed at kids aged 4-6.
Pop shows a number of TV programmes including Pokemon and Tiny Pop shows series like Hello Kitty: Super Style!.
The kids channels, as well as being available on TV, can also be viewed on various streaming services.
YouTube, the Pop Player app and FAST platforms such as Samsung TV Plus can access the channels.
As well as introducing two new kids channels the Freeview May changes will see two music channels rebrand.
A shopping channel will also be introduced, making its debut in some regions.
There are no changes for viewers who receive the reduced line-up of Freeview channels via a relay.
There will also be no changes for Freeview viewers in the Channel Islands.

Police facial recognition vans feel 'totalitarian', young people say
A police force's decision to start using vans with live facial recognition technology in them feel like a "totalitarian" move, young people have said. Greater Manchester Police will be able to scan the faces of passers-by and check them against a database of wanted Barumire, 18, said: "I think it is quite totalitarian, especially in a society like England that claims to be very democratic and free."Greater Manchester Police declined to comment when approached by the BBC. Greater Manchester police is one of seven forces in England to receive a share of 10 new vehicles will be operated by a trained officer who verifies any matches identified by the system measures facial features, like the distance between the eyes and the length of the jawline, and compares the data to an existing technology has already been used in London to make 580 arrests in 12 months, including those of 52 registered sex offenders accused of breaching their conditions. Speaking to the BBC at Piccadilly Gardens, reactions to the vans were mixed. Mia Kaivanto, 18, raised concerns about data privacy. She said: "More surveillance isn't necessarily equivalent to more efficient arrests."Another concern, raised by 21-year-old Awsten Heron, was whether the technology would be used to target protesters. The seven forces receiving a share of the 10 vans are Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley and Kerr, 18, and Olivia Keane, 19, said the vans could help people feel "a lot safer"."I think it is a good idea if it helps reduce crime rates," Ms Keane Johnson, 25, said he thought there was potential for the new systems to be "abused," but if it was used as intended to help catch criminals, it was "ok".

How Captain Tom's daughter hit new low with shameless comeback bid… as she moans she's misunderstood by ‘jealous' Brits
THE disgraced daughter of a national hero might not be the first person you'd turn to for life advice. But in her latest staggering show of shamelessness, Hannah Ingram-Moore is once again cashing in on dad Captain Tom's name. 7 7 The 54-year-old has now launched new wellness podcast 'Moore Moments', sharing life lessons on resilience and leadership - and urging people to subscribe to her YouTube brand. Whether you buy into her self-help journey or not, her eyebrow-raising comeback is nothing short of audacious. The daughter of national hero Captain Sir Tom Moore - the war veteran who raised £39million for NHS charities during Covid - Ingram-Moore is now better known for fleecing her late father's charity. The Sun has already told how she has rebranded herself as a self-help guru - and even taken to TikTok. And now she has unleashed her eponymous 'Moore Moments' Podcast. Unsurprisingly, she has wasted no time in painting herself as a beacon of strength, sorrow and misunderstood success. And bizarrely, Ingram-Moore uses her first YouTube clip to claim the public outcry at her actions comes from jealousy. The debut show features a tearful heart-to-heart with South African author and massage therapist Johanna Maria Vendel. Yet, in what some might call a jaw-dropping lack of self-awareness, Ingram-Moore says: "The thing that I've learned through my years of loss and through having to grieve on the public stage is that we mustn't allow ourselves to be victims. "We must stand up and say we're responsible for ourselves - that we also can't control how other people feel about us. "There is definitely an element of envy that afflicts people and in the end we must say we must let them feel that way because we can't do anything to change how they feel." Captain Tom's daughter STILL cashing in on dad's legacy by using him to flog £3.5k 'life-coaching' sessions Despite her reputation being in tatters after she and her husband diverted hundreds of thousands from her father's legacy, she now claims to be offering a platform for healing and reflection. In a bid to attract subscribers, Hannah tells listeners: "This podcast is here to remind you: you are not alone. The world may feel heavy, but there is always light, and you can be it. 'Subscribe to Moore Moments with Hannah Ingram-Moore for remarkable stories of resilience, leadership and the human spirit.' She adds: 'I think how lucky we are to now in today's world to have this space. Where you can talk about your life and touch so many other people. And people can see the real you.' Daily mantras The podcast is part of a wider Moore Moments media brand Ingram-Moore is using to dish out daily mantras to her followers - many of whom appear to be watching ironically. In another shameless use of her father's legacy, she plugs the brand on Instagram with a hashtag of his famous catchphrase, "tomorrow will be a good day" - also the title of his autobiography. Her motivational lines include: 'It's easy to waste energy worrying about things you can't control. But here's the truth - your power lies in how you steady yourself," and 'Trust your instinct - you know more than you think.' In one clip, filmed shakily on an escalator, she appears to have been struck by a burst of inspiration, sharing her latest insight mid-ride. In another, she tackles online negativity: "Negativity doesn't announce itself. It often simply appears in your thoughts, your inbox, your often the weight we carry doesn't even belong to us. "Let them keep it. It's not yours.' 7 7 7 She adds: "I created Moore Moments to remind us that amidst all the noise, there is still room for real stories, honest reflections and conversations that matter. "If today sparked something in you - a thought , a question, or just a pause - I hope you carry that with you. And remember, your story isn't finished yet. "Don't forget, no-one is you and that is your power. With love." There is definitely an element of envy that afflicts people and in the end we must say we must let them let them feel that way because we can't do anything to change how they feel. Hannah Ingram-Moore Beneath the video, one scathing comment reads: 'I lost money on a book I bought from a man who did some walking during Covid because the money I thought was going to his charity went into Hannah's bank account, so how do I get that money back? "I also lost money which I gave to a charity for the NHS when an old man did some walking during Covid but his daughter and her husband discovered that it would be great not to lose this great opportunity to get money 'for nothing', so how do I get that loss sorted out?" As of August, the first episode had racked up just 443 views. As CEO of the Captain Tom Foundation - which spent more on admin than on charity grants - she was paid a pro-rata salary of £85,000 and admitted pocketing £800,000 from her father's book deals through a company she and her husband controlled. Reputation in tatters The Sun exclusively revealed how Ingram-Moore and husband Colin, 67, ignored agreed plans for a small charity office in the grounds of their Grade-II listed mansion to house fan mail and pictures to remember Army veteran Tom. We uncovered retrospective proposals - submitted in the name of the Captain Tom Foundation - revealing how they instead put up a block twice the size, including a spa, pool and a sun terrace, which was then ordered to be demolished. The public backlash was swift and brutal - and Ingram-Moore became a national pariah. So what's next when your public image is in tatters? To reinvent yourself as a resilience coach, naturally. Perhaps a space to heal and reveal the "real you" might be put to good use by holding her hands up to the actions criticised by the Charity Commission in the scathing report. But there remains no sign of such an apology. Instead she insists on peddling her version of the "truth". "I didn't create 'Moore Moments' to respond to headlines. I created it to make space for the truth through calm, considered conversations, in a world that too often rushes past the things that matter," she crows on her website. "Space for the kinds of stories that aren't always heard but deeply deserve to be. "After one of the most extraordinary public experiences imaginable, I came to understand the power and danger of a single story. When the world met my father, Captain Sir Tom Moore, we were uplifted by a wave of unity and pride. "However, just as quickly, I recognised how easily the truth can be reshaped and reframed, sensationalised for outrage, and digested without context. 'That experience taught me something profound: when we're not telling our own stories, someone else almost certainly is, and often they don't get it right." 7 7 The timing of this public transformation is seemingly no coincidence. The Charity Commission's damning report, published last year, found 'serious and repeated' misconduct by the Ingram-Moores, including misleading the public and benefiting personally from the Foundation. She has dismissed the findings as 'selective storytelling' and claimed the Commission had a 'predetermined agenda.' The family's seven-bed Grade II Bedfordshire mansion meanwhile remains unsold, despite previous attempts to market it using Captain Tom's image, and a price drop from £2.25million to £2million. Capt Tom died in February 2021 at the age of 100, having gained worldwide recognition for his efforts and being knighted by the late Queen. Ingram-Moore insisted that her dad wanted the family to keep proceeds from his books, including autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day. But the Charity Commission found the Ingram-Moores had told a different story to others, including the publisher, allowing them to believe it would serve the charity in his name. So, overall Ingram-Moore's new podcast promises to feature stories from 'red carpets, boardrooms and kitchen tables', with guests invited to speak 'unfiltered, unpolished and free from expectation and judgement." Whether the public sees this as brave reinvention or tone-deaf audacity remains to be seen. But for now, Ingram-Moore's message is clear - she won't be silenced. Her inspiring father, Captain Tom, illuminated the darkness of the pandemic lockdown for so many by repeating his ethos: 'Tomorrow will be a good day.' Perhaps that explains the enduring positivity of Ms Ingram-Moore despite no sign, yet, of public opinion swinging back her way.

Helen Skelton shows off her toned figure in a bikini at the pool with her children - after 'cooling off' romance with Gethin Jones
Helen Skelton showed off her toned figure in a bikini as she spent some time at a local pool with her children. The TV presenter, 42, who is said to have recently 'cooled off her romance with fellow TV star Gethin Jones, enjoyed a dip in the middle of the heatwave. Giving an insight into how she had spent the school holidays with her children so far, Helen shared a montage of clips to Instagram on Thursday. She shares three children, Ernie, nine, Louis, eight, and Elsie, four, with her ex-husband, Richie Myler. In the first clip, Helen held out an inflatable in the pool as her daughter jumped off the edge and into the water. She captioned the post: 'Water babies. Community pools and shallow streams for the heatwave win.' The TV presenter, 42, who is said to have recently 'cooled off her romance with fellow TV star Gethin Jones, enjoyed a dip in the middle of the heatwave Elsewhere, Gethin was spotted on celebrity dating app Raya after calling time on his romance with Helen. The Morning Live hosts have grown increasingly close in recent months after spending time with each other outside work, including a steamy spa break. MailOnline revealed in May how the pair's 'flirty' on screen chemistry had 'blossomed' into a deeper connection and they were seen acting like a 'couple' at charity event last year courtesy of their 'tactile' behaviour towards each other. And to add extra intrigue to their secret romance, the hosts' respective reps both refused to comment on the duo's relationship after being quizzed amid reports they were spotted leaving the BAFTA TV awards together. However, Gethin, 47, has delivered a blow to Morning Live viewers eager for the presenter and Helen to go public with their romance. The rugby fan has changed the location of his Raya profile to alert prospective suitors he's in Australia, where he was watching the British and Irish Lions with a group of male pals a few weeks ago. An insider said: 'Gethin is on the prowl Down Under which puts the nail in the coffin for his romance with Helen. 'He's there with pals but keen to meet other women. There is no way Helen would stand for that if they were together and he has far too much respect for her to even go behind her back.' Elsewhere, Gethin was spotted on celebrity dating app Raya after calling time on his romance with Helen They added: 'Despite having an increasingly close connection it's cooled down significantly which is gutting for fans who really wanted them to be together.' Daily Mail contacted their representatives for comment at the time. Helen has been single since her high profile 2022 break up from husband Richie Myler, the father of her three children. The rugby league player was married to Helen for nine years with the former Strictly star writing on Instagram that she was very 'sad' he had 'left the family home'. Richie has since moved on with Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill, and they have welcomed two children, Olivia and Freddie.
