Depends on Viewership and which Mux they are broadcast on.

Good explanation here

and here

Not quite sure what you mean by different frequency for Four+1. Its on the same Mux as TV3, TV3+1, and TV 4 (Mediaworks). The Edge should be on the same Mux (Mediaworks).

Only on Satellite might it be different because The Edge and 4+1 are on the Sky Transponder and not Freeview.

It all depends on availability of space on the transponders.

Hi John,

These channels are put up on a Sky channel for Freeview, just like Prime. The reason is that there is no more satellite space on the existing Freeview channels.

When Freeview satellite started in 2006, there were a lot less channels than there are now.

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks Guys for solving this one! as time goes on broadcasters will launch on separate frequencies depending on the situation.
