Global Distribution Services has announced the launch of Euronews and Africanews FAST channels on Freeview LCN 257 in the UK. These channels are now part of the hybrid streaming news and entertainment lineup on the UK DTT platform. 

Euronews and Africanews join a roster of global news channels already available on Freeview UK through Global Distribution Services, including NHK, France24, Channel News Asia, Newsmax and more.

“We are thrilled to expand our reach in the UK through our partnership with Freeview, enabling UK viewers to stay informed on the latest developments in Europe via Euronews, and across the African continent through Africanews. In the current global context, we have seen a growing demand for our media globally as audiences seek reliable, independent and fact-based journalism – a hallmark of our group for over three decades,” said Maxime Carboni, Chief Business Officer at Euronews Group.

“We are thrilled to bring Euronews and Africanews to Freeview audiences, offering premium content through an innovative and scalable distribution model,” added Tanya Kronfli,  founder and managing director at Global Distribution Services. “Our partnership with Synapse allows us to maximise monetisation while delivering a superior viewing experience and also collecting consent of the viewers on all UK DTT platforms including Freeview and Freely.”
