Is Freeview a broadcaster?

Nope, we are like the glue. We provide platforms that bring together all the channels and programming information from the individual broadcasters. We also help provide some neat free features, like a programming guide, captioning, parental control, and audio descriptions*.

* Captions and audio descriptions are supplied by broadcasters; parental control functions rely on programme ratings and classifications data supplied by broadcasters.
