we have 5 terrestrial channels, BBC1 , BBC2, ITV1, CHANNEL 4 and CHANNEL 5. We also have freeview, which is a new installation on digital channels, there must be about 20 or 30 channels, we also have Sky and we can get literally hundreds of channels on that. We have to pay a licience fee for the terrestrial channels and and an extra payment for sky.

In the US, the number of overthe air broadcast stations varies based on where you live. For example in New York City there are 15 major sations: 2(CBS), 4(NBC), 5(Fox), 7(ABC), 9(my-network), 11(CW), 13(PBS), 21(PBS), 25(PBS), 31(ion), 41(spanish), 45(spanish), 52(PBS),55(independent), and 68(spanish). I live 2 hours away and the local stations are 16(ABC), 22(CBS), 28(NBC), 38(CW), 39(PBS), 44(PBS),53(my network), 56(Fox), 64(ion), and 69(independent) which counts both Scranton and Allentown, PA for 11 stations. The change from analog to digital has begun to have an effect as many braodcast stations are transmitting more than one signal. For example 16 also shows the Retro TV Network (old TV shows), 44 broadcasts 3 different signals, 39, has 4 signals. Other parts of the country that are less populated do ot have as many local stations or signals. But then there are also cable and satellite stations.

Based on the ratings, there's just two and that's channel 2 and channel 7. The rest are just good to watch during commercials.
