ishop TV was an Australian free-to-air television channel and a digital advertorial datacasting service that was launched on 30 April 2013. The channel is owned by Seven West Media (formerly Prime Media Group)[1] and Brand Developers. It broadcast infomercials and home shopping. The channel appeared on the Prime multiplex on 22 April 2013.[2] The channel was supposed to launch on 1 May 2013.[3][1]
When sister channel 4ME on channel 64 was closed down after its operator Brand New Media went into administration,[4] channel 64 was re-purposed as a feed of ishop TV. The extra feed was later removed in June 2016.[citation needed] The channel was available on channel 65 from its launch until 30 November 2022, when it was moved to channel 67 to fit 7Bravo on channel 65.[citation needed]
In preparation for TVSN moving its free-to-air broadcasts to the Seven Network and 7plus from Network 10 (WIN Television in regional areas) on 1 July 2024 via LCN 67,[5] ishop TV was permanently closed on 1 April 2024.[citation needed]
