Talk has confirmed its departure from Freeview channel 280, two years after relaunching as a streaming-only service. This change means the news and opinion channel will no longer be available via Freeview's streaming offering.
Key Takeaways
- Talk confirms it will stop streaming on Freeview channel 280.
- The channel had relaunched as a streaming-only service two years ago.
- The change removes Talk from Freeview's streaming offering.
- RXTV published the report on May 31, 2026.
