AMAZON has bolstered its free telly service Freevee with 10 new channels for users in the UK, including NBCUniversal.
Freevee is a platform found on most smart TVs and all Fire Sticks (and Cubes), that offers telly free of charge in exchange for making viewers sit through ads first.

NBC Universal, which has made its debut on Freevee, will offer up classics that have previously been hard to find via streaming, such as Northern Exposure.
There is one slight catch, however.
These channels are live, which means shows won’t be available to watch on-demand.
Instead, viewers can watched the live streaming channels air episodes back-to-back, following a schedule if they want to catch specific episodes.
Here’s the full list of new channels available:
The Real Housewives (NBC Universal) Million Dollar Listing (NBC Universal) Top Chef (NBC Universal) Xena: Warrior Princess (NBC Universal) Northern Exposure (NBC Universal) The Bionic Woman (NBC Universal) UKTV Play Heroes (shows include Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, Inside the Ambulance and Special Ops: Crime Squad)UKTV Play Laughs (shows include Judge Romesh and Hypothetical)UKTV Play Full Throttle (shows include Secrets of the Railways and Classic Steals)UKTV Play Uncovered (shows include Abandoned Engineering, History Hunters and World War 2 Frontlines)
Freevee already hosts popular movies like Shrek, Twilight, Jurassic Park, The Blair Witch Project, and Four Weddings and a Funeral, as well as TV shows and original content.
Fellow studio behemoth MGM is also set to launch its first-ever FAST (free ad-supported television) channels in the UK this autumn, with shows such as Paternity Court, The Addams Family and The Pink Panther.
Alongside Amazon’s Fire TV and Tablet devices, Freevee can also be found within the Prime Video app.
It’s also available on Google TV, Android TV OS devices, and Apple’s suite of products, including iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.
Note: You just need a free Amazon account to watch Freevee, but you don’t need to be an Amazon Prime member for it.
