Broadcasting On Freeview
Price Drop had to change its Freeview channel number on 1 October 2004, when ITV, owner of multiplex it had broadcast on, wanted the capacity to launch ITV3 a month later.
On 5 January 2009, Price Drop was removed from the Freeview digital platform, as Sit-Up Shopping lost its space on multiplex A. It was outbid for renewal of its carriage contract by Discovery Networks UK, which launched the entertainment channel Quest. The channel returned to Freeview in August 2009 - but, because it was time-sharing capacity with another channel, its hours were limited to 8am to 12am.
In late June 2012, Price Drop started broadcasting on new Freeview capacity from 8am to 2am in post-digital switchover areas, which will include all areas of the United Kingdom by 24 October 2012.
