TVs across the UK will be treated to more content to watch for free this month with a new channel launching on Sky and matched by Freeview.

The update comes courtesy of the GREAT! network that already broadcasts a number of free services to homes across the country. It's next launch, which is called GREAT! Real, will bring even more content to screens and won't cost a penny extra to watch.

A full lineup of shows will be announced soon but it's been confirmed that the new channel will feature programmes that are all unscripted. These include favourites such as Heathrow: Britain’s Busiest Airport, Island Medics, Emergency Rescue: Air, Paddington Station 24/7 and Coast Guard Alaska.

GREAT! Real, which will join other free channels including GREAT! Movies, GREAT! Action and GREAT! Romance, is the first time the platform has had a service totally dedicated to real-life shows

Speaking about the launch, Steve Hornsey, Narrative Entertainment’s VP of Movies & Entertainment, said: "With an array of observational series focusing on dramatic real-life events and human stories, GREAT! Real will take audiences to the heart of the action with an exciting, engaging and relatable content mix that perfectly complements our existing brands."

There's no word on a channel position just yet but watch out for March 20 as that's when things are expected to go live.
