The service, which launched in May, will roll out the new channels in late July and early August.

The first set of channels, launching on 24 July, features a range of entertainment, news, shopping and gaming channels, including Zone Horror, Zone Reality, and Russia Today. The second set, to launch 1 August, consists of radio stations, including Capital Radio, XFM, Classic FM and NME Radio.

Emma Scott, managing director of Freesat, said: "Following last week's launch of BBC and ITV regional variants, these new TV and radio channels further enhance Freesat's offering and provide extra choice to viewers and listeners."

For a one-off payment of £49.99, Freesat currently provides viewers with more than 80 digital TV, radio and interactive channels, including high-definition (HD) programming from the BBC and ITV.
