Grace patten: Hi, Grace. Sky News remains on channel 132 on Freeview. If you have changed to receiving your tv signals from the Crediton transmitter, you won't be able to view the Sky News channel because it isn't transmitted from Crediton, because the Crediton transmitter is not a main transmitter, and, as a 'Freeview Light' transmitter, it only transmits public service broadcasting channels (of which Sky News is not one). This should answer your question. Richard, Norwich. PS If you reply with your postcode, then one of us can explain how you may be able to get your signals from another transmitter which does transmit Sky News.
