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:
“For, rightly, every man is a channel through which heaven floweth, and, whilst I fancied I was criticising him, I was censuring or rather terminating my own soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If my sons are to become the kind of men our daughters would be pleased to live among, attention to domestic details is critical. The hostilities that arise over housework...are crushing the daughters of my generation....Change takes time, but men’s continued obliviousness to home responsibilities is causing women everywhere to expire of trivialities.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
