I expect there will be some Freeview Channel Changes in January 2022 when BBC Three returns as a broadcast channel.
It was reported in the i Newspaper, on Tuesday 30th March 2021:
"BBC Three will return as a broadcast channel in January 2022 while BBC Two will become the home of arts and music. BBC Four will be converted into an archive channel showcasing past performances."

Ha ha very funny John.
Just looked at your Angus Dunnington birthday post. I have a number of his books including one you've not included.
Naughty boy.
A couple of forum members might make a big thing of it.
I enjoy reading your chess history and birthday posts and have learned a lot from them. Keep it up.
