John Howells:

TV music channels, Radio music channels, Freeview, Freesat or Sky?
This list above does have a section of Radio channels, but you'd probably have to search through for those that are music.
The lists may not be 100% up-to-date as the site owner has had trouble trying to keep up-to-speed with all the changes.

Anil: Travel Channel was removed from Freesat (and Freeview) and replaced with DMAX in January 2019. It was also removed from Sky and ceased broadcasting to the UK via satellite at the end of last month.

Anil:

In addition to what StevensOnln1 has said, Travel Channel is part of Discovery Networks UK and Ireland. The listing on this site is out-of-date.
See https://media.info/television/channels/travel-channel
also https://media.info/television/channels/travel-channel/watch
and https://www.discoveryuk.com/channels/ even that listing isn't complete/up-to-date
