Closing down *when*? Apart from The Guardian article 
(<https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/jan/29/as-most-tv-viewers-tune-in-via-broadband-will-2034-signal-the-death-of-freeview>), 
now approaching six months old, there seems to have been nothing 
official on the subject. The article states:

"After two years examining options for the future of the free-to-air 
service, the DCMS is due to deliver its verdict soon. It is looking at 
three options put forward by Ofcom: an expensive upgrade to Freeview’s 
ageing technology; maintaining it as an extremely limited service with 
just a minimum of core channels from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 
5; and a “switch off over the 2030s”."

I found some more info here:
<https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/freeview-cut-off-date-confirmed-34074146>

"In response, Minister of State for Digital Government and Data Ian 
Murray confirmed that no decision has yet been reached: “Following the 
consultation in 2021 on the renewal of digital terrestrial television 
(DTT) multiplex licences to which my honourable friend refers, 
Parliament legislated to secure the future of DTT until at least 2034. 
No decision has yet been made about the future of the DTT platform 
beyond this point."
