CBS Justice
CBS Justice is moving the other way – down the Freeview channel list, swapping places with Horror on channel 69. The channel will then sit next to CBS Drama and CBS Reality in the Freeview channel list. Originally known as ‘CBS Action’, the channel shows US crime drama, including CSI: Miami, JAG, Perry Mason and NCIS.
Newer Freeview receivers may automatically adjust the channel list to reflect the changes. Other receivers will need to be retuned to continue watching on the new channel numbers. TVs that aren’t retuned may continue to display both channels on their old channel numbers.
The changes also affect YouView (BT/TalkTalk) users.
Horror Channel and CBS Justice are part of the CBS AMC Networks UK Channels Partnership.
