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:
“The Xanthus or Scamander is not a mere dry channel and bed of a mountain torrent, but fed by the ever-flowing springs of fame ... and I trust that I may be allowed to associate our muddy but much abused Concord River with the most famous in history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
