Main Article: List of free-to-air TV channels in New Zealand
As of 2012 the Freeview platform has 17 television channels and 4 radio stations.
Up to 18 channels will be available, with six each assigned to TVNZ and MediaWorks, and the balance to other networks. Given that TVNZ's and MediaWorks's current free-to-air channels will be available on Freeview, there will be eight extra channels in total, between the two.
Freeview has its own eight-day electronic programme guide, named Freeview EPG; TVNZ's Teletext service is also available. On Freeview Satellite the EPG is transmitted in both EIT and MHEG-5 formats. On Freeview|HD, the EIT has Present/Following and the text for only six schedule events per channel transmitted with full text scheduling available only via a MHEG-5 stream.

Famous quotes containing the words channel and/or details:
“How old the world is! I walk between two eternities.... What is my fleeting existence in comparison with that decaying rock, that valley digging its channel ever deeper, that forest that is tottering and those great masses above my head about to fall? I see the marble of tombs crumbling into dust; and yet I don’t want to die!”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Then he told the news media
the strange details of his death
and they hammered him up in the marketplace
and sold him and sold him and sold him.
My death the same.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
