      Never even considered that to be weird, I think we have 12 numbered channels in Sweden :thinkin-lenin:

        UK does the same thing. Probably just a remnant from when the only two channels were 1 and 2, both of which were provided by a public broadcaster.

          Same actually, and also like the UK there are a few more public service channels now without numbers
