FREEVIEW television owners will receive a free new channel on their box today.

But they may have to rescan to watch.

New station AMAZING! Real has finally reached millions of households, offering programs with “real drama and authentic stories around real people and events.”

Shows you can expect include:

• Heathrow: Britain’s busiest airport
• Police uncut
• Emergency aid: air, land and sea
• Police Ten 7
• Coast Guard Alaska
• Paddington Station 24/7

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.

This includes not only Freeview and Sky, but also Freesat and Virgin Media.

Fortunately, the channel lives on in digital form via free platforms such as Samsung TV Plus and via the POP Player app.

But within a few days, a free sports channel will be shut down for good.

SportyStuff TV will stop broadcasting on March 31.

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.

See all the movers and shakers in Freeview this month.

TV viewers have just 24 hours to prepare their children for the disappearance of a beloved children’s channel tomorrow.

However, a new channel from the same network, Narrative Entertainment, will take its place.

Children’s channel Tiny POP is no longer broadcast as a traditional TV channel on all major platforms, ranging from Sky and Virgin to Freeview and Freesat.

The channel is home to shows like Barbie, CoComelon and Sesame Street spinoffs like Elmo’s World.

But from March 20, it will only exist as an online service available on these platforms:

• LG channels
• Net avg
• Samsung TV Plus
• YouTube
• POP player

“Why on earth did you delete your channels,” one mother ranted on Facebook when the move was first announced.

“A very angry little boy who doesn’t understand that we can’t watch it on TV anymore!”

It follows the closure of CITV last year after 17 years on screen, which switched to digital-only via ITVX Kids.

Replacing Tiny POP is, unfortunately for the children, not a channel aimed at seven-year-olds and younger.

Arriving on March 20 is AMAZING! Real, the first channel in the GREAT! Network to broadcast only unscripted content.

Shows will include Heathrow: Britain’s Busiest Airport, Paddington Station 24/7, Island Medics, Emergency Rescue: Air, Land and Sea and Coast Guard Alaska.

It comes as the makers of Freeview and Freesat recently announced plans for the next generation of TV delivered to homes over the internet.

Freely will launch sometime from April this year, built into new smart TVs.

FREE TV APPS

Last year, Narrative Entertainment entered the on-demand streaming space with the red button AWESOME! Player.

The big! Player hosts numerous free ad-supported television channels (FAST) for viewers who have left paid streaming apps.

And it’s not the only one on your television.

As streaming giants Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video raise prices and put previously free features behind paywalls, more and more people are turning to FAST apps.

FAST apps available in the UK include:

AMAZON shoppers have rushed to buy huge “bargain” boxes of Creme Eggs that are cheaper than those at Tesco or Asda.

The iconic Cadbury Creme Egg is a favorite with Brits across the country.

1

And shoppers can now buy 48 of the little chocolatey delights for less than £22.

The box normally costs £23.05 but has been reduced to £21.36 for a limited time.

That makes each Creme Egg just 45p, cheaper than Tesco, Asda and Morrisons.

Shoppers can pick them up for 50p each from Tesco and Asda or for 75p from Morrisons.

This would make each chocolate egg 30p more expensive, equating to a difference of £14.40.

The bulk box is an incredibly popular choice on Amazon, with more than 10,000 sold in the last month.

And the hitbox has achieved an impressive and near-perfect average star rating of 4.8 out of five from 17,956 reviews.

One customer wrote: “I got these because they were cheaper than in the stores.”

A second called the product ‘more cost-effective’ than buying it in supermarkets.

They said: “You can’t go wrong with a box of these. It was great to give to my students around Easter… it was much more cost effective than the shops. I would buy it again.”

A third wrote: “If you have a large family the Easter hunts can be expensive so putting these in packs of 2+ in sandwich bags or party bags in different colors made it a fun day, worth the money and will make this event keep it going.

“Saving a lot of money also made the children happy.”

However, one Amazon customer said: “It’s not much, but that’s not the point: there should have been 48, but there were 46.

“I was suspicious because the polyethylene covering the cardboard outer box had clearly stretched and let’s say two eggs had fallen out somewhere.”

TO LOOK FOR EASTER EGGS

With Easter fast approaching, there’s not much time left to grab a bargain on your favorite chocolate.

Retailers have been competing for the best deals on sweet treats since the start of the year.

Tesco has slashed the cost of 22 extra-large Easter eggs, including many Cadbury varieties.

For example, Clubcard customers can buy a 232g Cadbury Dairy Milk Twirl Easter Egg for £3.50.

But if you are not signed up for the loyalty program, you will have to pay a fiver.

A number of Easter eggs at Asda were reduced from 60p to their original prices of £1.25 and £1.50.

Despite Asda ending its deal offering 60p eggs on March 10, it is still the cheapest place to buy a 96g Freddo Easter egg.

It comes with a small egg and a selection of iconic Freddo chocolates inside and retails for £1.25.

Asda is selling a 190g KitKat Chunky egg carton for £3, the same as Tesco and Ocado.

Meanwhile, Morrisons and Iceland are the next cheapest option, selling these for £3.25 and £3.50 respectively.

Elsewhere, Sainsbury’s has several discounts on Easter eggs for Nectar card buyers.

This includes a large 195g Lindt Easter egg with a salted caramel golden bunny, which retails for £9 with a Nectar card, and £11 without.

Morrisons are also offering discounts and special bundles on Easter eggs and treats.

FRUIT & Nut chocolate bars costing just £1.35 are stocked in lockers at Co-op branches.

The treats became the latest everyday item to be protected from thieves during the shoplifting epidemic.

Cadbury’s other favourite, Dairy Milk Caramel, has also been locked down.

Cooperatives in posh Cambridge and parts of London have put them in plastic boxes with tags.

Matthew Moore, who was browsing the shelves in London, said: “It’s extraordinary. I stopped and stared, thinking maybe there was something special about the chocolate.

“What’s next? A Freddo with a 25 cent security tag?

Readers have also seen instant coffee, butter, shortbread and oven chips with security labels in stores across the country.

A Co-op spokesperson said: “The safety of our staff is a top priority and security matters are part of a range of preventive measures to deter thieves.

“Retail crime is caused by repeat and frequent offenders and is often a focal point for abuse and attacks on retail staff.

“Products in security cases are usually high-value items, but other goods can be secured if there is a local problem.”

ASDA shoppers are swooning over the incredible Galaxy boxes on the shelves.

The limited edition boxes are hot chocolate packages with three delicious topping options.

An Instagram post from @treats_by_mars announcing the treat read: “Movie Night Galaxy Hot Chocolate kit is now available in ASDA.

“Make a show-stopper hot chocolate while enjoying your favorite moviewith sugar star sprinkles, Galaxy chocolate drops and popcorn mallows.

“With six servings in each set, it’s perfect to share with all your friends and family.”

The delicious boxes were also spotted by Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, who wrote: “Limited edition movie night hot chocolate set, this looks soooo good and sounds soooo good.”

The sets cost just £5 and Asda shoppers are rushing to the store to buy one before it’s too late.

One Facebook user tagged a friend and commented: “Take your little tramp to asda stat” on the post.

And another simply said, “I need this.”

It comes as shoppers were thrilled after a savvy shopper found luxury chocolates on offer for just £1.

Asda shoppers are rushing to their local stores after someone posted a photo of Ferrero Rocher selling for just £1.

“I’ll take the plank,” one user wrote.

Another said: “We have to go to Asda.”

And a third tagged his friend and said: “Can you go now?”

Asda shoppers can grab the £1 chocolates from their nearest store.

And shoppers rushed to the store to buy a spreadable sweet treat – and people are saying it’s “absolutely beautiful”.

Asda fans have been enjoying its new own-brand Cookies and Cream flavor paste.

TESCO shoppers are rushing to the nearest stores to grab tea bags selling for less than 1 cent each.

The supermarket giant has slashed the prices of Ty-Phoo tea bags.

The one kg pack of 440 tea bags originally sold for £5.

But now the price of the item has been halved and it is being sold for £2.50.

Each tea bag individually costs you less than 1 cent.

One lucky shopper snagged the deal today and rushed to social media to brag about his purchase.

With a photo of the tea bag they wrote: ‘440 tea bags, yellow sticker reduced to transparent.

“Was €5, now €2.50!”

Fellow shoppers flocked to the comments section to express their excitement.

One wrote: “What a bargain for tea drinkers.”

Another said: ‘Keep an eye on this [deal].”

A third revealed: “That’s my favorite tea.”

Tips to reduce the cost of a cup of tea

GO GREEN: Investing in a reusable tea infuser instead of tea bags like the Ikea Idealisk for £1 could prove to be a cost saver.

Fill it with loose tea, steep and enjoy.

GO BIG: Buying tea in bulk is a smart way to save money in the long run.

Look for retailers or online stores that offer discounts when purchasing larger quantities.

By stocking up on your favorite varieties, you’ll not only benefit from per-cup savings, but also ensure you never run out when the cravings hit strikes.

TEA-RRIFIC IDEA: Sign up to become a free MyWaitrose member at guard rose.com, then take your reusable cup to the supermarket, scan your membership card and receive your free cup of tea.

BOILING POINT: Only boil the water you need for your brew.

Or a thermal bottle can keep the leftover water warm future cups, save energy This way you don’t have to turn the kettle on again.

BUY A BARGAIN: Don’t let leftover tea leaves go to waste.

Instead, consider saving your used bag for a second infusion.

Many types, especially loose teas, can be steeped several times without becoming bland.

Let your second cup of coffee steep a little longer to extract any remaining flavor.

BREWING FLAVOR: Instead of splurging on different flavored mixtures, use ingredients you already have at home.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a dash of honey or even a pinch of cinnamon to black tea for a fresh take on your usual cup of tea.

A SAVVY shopper has revealed how Iceland is offering ten boxes of frozen chicken for just £10.

The customer managed to purchase two frozen Southern Fried chicken breasts and two frozen Chicken Quarter Pounders for £2.50 each.

1

But if she had bought ten boxes, she could have saved herself a fortune, because the supermarket giant is offering ten packs for a bargain price.

She posted on Facebook: “£2.50 each or 10 boxes for £10.”

The Icelandic offer of ten items for ten pounds is not limited to frozen chicken. Items like pizza and fish are also available when you shop online.

Shoppers in Iceland were thrilled when they heard about this frozen food deal.

One person commented: “I bought it yesterday and saved £18.”

Another wrote: “They do fish and pizza, good deal too.”

A third said: “The 10 for 10 is a pretty good deal on the fish and scampi too considering the prices they are these days.”

It comes after Iceland unveiled new Cadbury chocolate boxes that are twice the size of its Christmas hampers – for just £6.

It comes after another informed shopper shared on Facebook how customers can get a week's worth of food for just £5.

By entering a code, customers can choose up to 10 items, ranging from Goodfellas pizza to Fish Fingers, the post said.

Many people were excited about the deal, with one writing: “Another great online offer that those who prefer to shop in store are missing out.

“Yes, there are store offers, but never as good as online.”

SHOPPERS are 'demolishing' giant boxes of Cadbury Flake, where they cost just 48p each.

A savvy shopper went online to share his find with like-minded bargain hunters in a Facebook group.

1

Along with a photo of the huge box, they wrote: “I don't know who needs that many flakes. £6.99 Farmfoods 144 flakes.”

At that price, each flake costs just 48 cents each.

From the more than 200 comments the post has generated, it is clear that many people could use that much flake.

Referring to the packaging on the box which said: “For ice cream and culinary use,” someone jokingly posted: “Rude to assume they use it for ice cream, I could easily eat 144 flakes.”

Another choccy fan added: “The better, any decent human being can eat their way through a box of cookies like that in less than half an hour. By far the best chocolate treat ever made.”

While a third wrote: “I could easily demolish this box!”

Many others tagged a friend and said they needed to get to Farmfoods ASAP.

SMALLER SIZE THAN REGULAR BARS

However, some people warned others that the flakes in the box were smaller than the regular version.

One commenter said: “I bought these, they are extremely small. In some packages the flakes were half the size they should be. More like a splinter.”

Although one person replied: “It's a catering kit intended for use in ice cream cones.”

However, other choco-holics were not deterred, with one saying: “chocolate is chocolate, even when it's broken.”

Apart from the huge box of flakes, Asda, Morrisons and Tesco are all currently selling a multipack of four flakes for £1.65, according to Trolley.co.uk.

Sainsbury's also compares this with the nectar price, otherwise it is 20 cents more expensive.

For anyone who doesn't want to be so indulgent, Sainsbury's is also selling a single, apparently larger Cadbury flake for 75p.

It comes after another sweet-toothed customer spotted a chocolate deal in Home Bargains that was too good to miss, so they cleared the shelves.

Chocolate lovers used to love B&M's new “bake at home” Easter eggs.

Late last month, bargain hunters with a sweet tooth got excited about the “party size” bags of M&Ms, which had been heavily reduced in price.

The second season of The Family Stallone debuts on Wednesday, February 21 on Paramount+.

In the new season, Sylvester Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin Stallone and their daughters Sophia, 27, Sistine, 25, and Scarlet, 21, travel on a family vacation to Rome, Italy.

While in Europe, Sly met Pope Francis at the Vatican and shadowboxed with him.

The actor, 77, speaks to the crowd in Vatican City, telling them: 'I love you, keep hitting!'

“My father is starting to shadow box… the Pope,” Scarlet says, clearly embarrassed.

The trailer opens with Sly and Jennifer talking directly to the camera as they set up a romantic bath, complete with red roses.

“Look at the cameraman over there,” Jennifer said, showing Sly.

“We can show the kids how it's done,” Sly said cheekily.

In the next part, Sistine talks about having dates scheduled every week, and compares it to feeling like royalty.

'I feel like royalty. I have a date with a man every night of the week,” she says as she walks in a black dress and then enjoys a drink with her sisters.

“This is the real deal,” Sly said.

“There's a lot of us,” Scarlet added separately.

“You are a confident, strong woman,” Sophia says in the next clip, which features a montage of the family doing various things, including Scarlet kissing her boyfriend Louis.

Jennifer then says 'time out.'

“We're Going to Rome,” as the family arrives in the European city surrounded by their extended family.

“This is a Stallone festival,” one of them says.

In the next part, Sophia reveals to Sister Sistine that she has signed up for a dating show called UpDating, where participants in turn wear blindfolds.

Sistine is seen to be part of it, but at first it seems like she didn't agree with the idea of ​​going on a dating show.

Sophia will soon end up on stage at an event and exclaim, “I'm so nervous, gosh!”

“I'm single now,” Sistine says, without context of her previous dating history.

She bumps Sophia on the chest in another sweet moment.

Scarlet is in a relationship with Louis Masquelier-Page, which they show in the trailer.

“Louis met my family one by one so I wouldn't scare him off,” Scarlet hilariously admitted.

“He's absolutely perfect,” Jennifer said of Louis, a University of Miami alpine skiing athlete.

“Give me a reason to go ballistic,” Stallone said in a voiceover, with an image of him sitting in a convertible as Louis awkwardly looked at each other.

Sly is then shown practicing punches in a boxing ring.

The second season of The Family Stallone will be released on February 21 on Paramount+.
