NetPlay TV – owners of Super Casino that was recently launched on Freeview – have added another channel to the Freeview EPG on channel 49. The channel is simply called NetPlay TV. It’s not 100% known what will broadcast on it, but it has been spotted at certain times of the day it has been showing infomercials (Teleshopping). More news as we get it. Rocks & Co was expected to launch on this channel number on the 22nd January, so perhaps Rocks & Co will just air on this NetPlay TV channel sharing it with other things.
