Freesat was set up to ensure that all UK households have the opportunity to access the best innovations in digital TV, including subscription-free high definition TV - no matter where they are in the UK.
Freesat was formed in May 2007 as a joint venture between the BBC and ITV. So while we're a brand new service, we've actually been around for a while. We're funded by our shareholders ITV and the BBC and through other income, and we're run on a not-for-profit basis.
Freesat is a small team of people based in offices in Central London. We're really excited about delivering the best of free digital television to everyone.
