This is good news for me, although not for my credit card! On the bid.tv forum I'd read that it was bid that was leaving freeview, not price-drop. I much prefer the presenters on bid so I'm glad it's the one that's staying.

I'm surprised they are leaving - I'd have thought any shopping channel would want maximum exposure to the public and be on as many tv systems in this day and age. Not everyone has Sky or Cable tv.

'Twas me who posted that Bid were leaving Freeview, that was my info at the time. I shall miss a couple of the presenters on Price-Drop

Not sure that dropping pricedrop (as opposed to bid.tv) from Freeview was the best decision.

In my freeview region bid.tv has always stopped broadcasting at 7pm while pricedrop broadcast till closedown.

From today, Freeview viewers won't see pricedrop or bid.tv after 7pm so those who work during the day and maybe have disposable income, won't be viewing either channel in the evenings.
