Three “exciting new television channels” are expected in early 2011. They are expected to be free to air, but may end up being Freesat exclusive and not available on Sky boxes – at the moment this is unknown.

Electric Sofa Media, the UK’s newest broadcaster, plan to launch three new television channels on in early 2011.

The channels are focused on entertainment and film covering all ages:

Film GB – The first ever TV channel devoted exclusively to British cinema – a mixture of classic and new movies, including family favourites and brand new British films.

Sofa Stars – The new home of the best entertainment – entertainment, documentaries, dramas and daily news every weekday evening.

Sofa Screen – A new movie channel targeting 25-44 year olds – tearjerkers, family favourites, thrillers, horror, sci-fi and much more.

It is unknown if these will also be available on Sky boxes, as Freesat do seem to be getting some freesat exclusive channels – like the recently launched Movies For Men. Non Sky boxes should be Ok.
