We are going to tell you what the changes are in Spanish DTT in 2026. Now that the year has started, there are some changes that we are going to encounter. Specifically, there is a channel that disappears, another that is released, and there is also a channel that changes its name.
In this article we are going to briefly tell you what these changes are, which have taken effect since January 1, 2026. In principle no need to retune of DTT, but simply wait for the changes to be applied. However, we remind you how to retune your DTT in case you consider it necessary.
Changes to Spanish DTT in 2026
The first change that applies to DTT in Spain since its entry in 2026 is the disappearance of the channel Paramount Network. It is a channel focused on cinema and television series, which has already stopped broadcasting.
And the electromagnetic space of Paramount Network A new channel that is already broadcasting is going to take advantage of it. It is about the new channel Squirrel 2. In 2025, Disney Channel was replaced by Squirreland now we have a second children’s channel with this brand, more focused on series, while the first is more focused on movies.
As Squirrel 2 has taken the place of Paramount Networkin principle it is not necessary to do a retuning. Simply, the channels will be replaced and their names changed in our receivers automatically.
And this is not all, because there is also a name change. The channel BOMCine is renamed Squirrel 3reorganizing its contents to adapt to the new name.
Of course, the channel that disappears and the one that is incorporated do so throughout the country. However, Squirrel 3 still has limited coverage as I had it with the previous name. It is only broadcast through the Autonomous Multiplex in regions such as the Community of Madrid, Valencia, Andalusia or Murcia, and on some operator platforms such as Orange TV or Vodafone TV.
