It is the sister station of the existing GREAT! brands, GREAT! Movies, AMAZING! Action, AMAZING! Romance and AMAZING! TV.
You can find AWESOME! Real on Freeview channel 61.
It is also available on Sky satellite, via channel number 189.
Channel changes
Unfortunately, the new channel arrives while another disappears.
Today is also the day that children’s station Tiny POP is removed from all boxes as a linear channel.

Bosses recently said in a statement that 2023 was the company’s most successful trading year but that “external circumstances beyond our control” have forced the channel to close.
