Main Article: List of free-to-air TV channels in New Zealand
As of 2012[update] the Freeview platform has 17 television channels and 4 radio stations.[1]
Up to 18 channels will be available, with six each assigned to TVNZ and MediaWorks, and the balance to other networks.[2] 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.[3] On Freeview Satellite the EPG is transmitted in both EIT and MHEG-5 formats.
