Millions of Brits unlock three new TV channels in huge ‘June update' for popular free telly service including ‘ITV Quiz'
MILLIONS of Brits are getting access to three news channels in a big June update of a major TV service. Freeview watchers can enjoy the new channels as the changes start to roll out. 1 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. Kay Burley joins This Morning in TV return after departure from Sky News 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.

'Must Have Ideas started with a sponge and now finds products you won't find elsewhere'
The rise of one of the fastest growing e-commerce companies in the UK is evident from the moment you enter reception at Must Have Ideas — a real-time orders ticker continually flicks over towards the 9 million barrier as I wait for Amy Knight, the homeware product specialist's co-founder and director. Having launched in 2018 with a hygienic sponge, Kent-based Must Have Ideas today has a product range over 200 and dispatches more than 9,000 orders daily. The three co-founders started with £3,000 and had a stringent £20 advertising budget for social media videos they produced themselves. Spool forward seven years and Must Have Ideas now spends £2m monthly on Meta (META) ads. It is money well invested too, with the firm's recent revenue figures nudging towards £70m. Read More: How the world's only patented plantable pencil has sold millions 'I thought it would be a lifestyle business but the growth got away from us and we are trying to keep up,' says Knight. The 28-year-old had originally trained as a lawyer, working full-time as a warehouse manager for Ecoegg, an eco-friendly cleaning and household goods business, alongside her law degree studies at University of Kent. Knight left Ecoegg having moved up as head of operations and sensing a business opportunity. Leaving her law degree behind, she watched YouTube videos and read Facebook groups and articles on digital marketing. 'I quite liked the idea of going into business but there wasn't a massive desire to be a lawyer,' Knight admits. Together with her husband Rob, who co-founded Ecoegg, and a former colleague Chris Finch, the trio each invested £1,000 and filmed their first 'embarassing' sponge advert on a mobile phone, with Knight as the actress in her kitchen. 'We didn't have any more money to put in. We were unemployed and living off savings,' says Knight. 'I had a car on Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) that I had to give back as the balloon payment had gone. I'm not sure what we would have done if we hadn't sold the sponges. We just hoped it would work.' Read More: How the world's only patented plantable pencil has sold millions However, the product quickly sold out. 'We realised that the more product we added, the faster the business grew,' admits Knight. 'Even now it's all trial and error and it's something we swear by that if we aren't testing [700 pieces of social media content per month are published] we are doing something wrong.' Knight, listed on Forbes 30 Under 30's e-commerce category in 2023, says her retired police officer parents both backed their daughter's move into business. 'They didn't give much opinion and they may have been worried it wouldn't work out but they have always been very supportive,' she says. 'Because they've been in the police they've always been in the public sector. The whole business world has been unknown to them but I think they're proud now.' From her spare room in Rochester, Must Have Ideas has grown into a 40,000-square-foot warehouse employing 170 staff, with a range of company perks including a free car wash every month. Knight says that its custom-built AI software, called Spark, has been the catalyst for powering up growth and which 'runs the entire business'. This includes Must Have Idea's own TV shopping channel, which launched last year and stitches together production, as well as running the firm's helpdesk, website and managing deliveries and buying reports. 'It's been huge and one of the best things we've done as a business,' she adds. 'We are a data driven and tech-focused business and were tired of using tech that didn't work for the business. Pretty quickly we developed Spark and it means that teams are not using workarounds.' There have been challenges in the company's rise. With most of its products manufactured in China, the company saw shipping container costs spiral during the COVID pandemic from £1,500 to £18,000 while Knight admits last year's budget 'kind of felt like we were being hit from all angles'. The three co-founders, who now have six children between them and Knight a mother of two, have adopted a second tier of management into the company, hiring heads of products and acquisition, and allowing the trio to focus on wider aspects of business growth. Read More: 'I've seen how weight loss can be life-changing for patients' The e-commerce company's 'big focus' is to be a £100m business, with Knight bullish that the milestone can be achieved within the next two years. 'I would love for us to be a brand people think to go to for a solution,' she adds. 'For us it's about making everyday life easier with problem-solving solutions, problems that you didn't even know you had until we showed you an ad. 'It's about discovering new products and clever solutions that you won't find elsewhere. If you find them on the end of the aisle at Tesco (TSCO.L) it's not for us.' It is these discoveries that have kept the order tracker working overtime. When I exit Must Have Ideas' reception 90 minutes later hundreds more orders have been taken.
