and live on Freeview channel 276
Meadowhall is renaming one of its malls and spending thousands on a rebrand to create a ‘more elevated shopping experience’.
Park Lane will be renamed ‘The Avenue’ and will be ‘reinvigorated’ with new furniture, plants, and ‘more modern’ store frontages and signs.

Sports Direct and Frasers are opening in the former Debenhams next year and Zara is moving into the former House of Fraser.
Meadowhall bosses also say ‘new additions’ are in the pipeline and set to join existing shops including The White Company, L’Occitane, White Stuff, Carvela and Kurt Geiger.
Its Mall Guide for Park Lane currently shows seven empty units downstairs and seven upstairs.

Darren Pearce, centre director at Meadowhall, said: "I’m incredibly excited to share the plans we have for this area of the centre – our ambition for the space is big, and I know our visitors will be equally as excited for what’s to come."
He added: "Meadowhall is already in a great position with lots of amazing brands, but we’re always looking at ways we can give our customers even more to enjoy and experience. The transformation of this area of the centre comes at the perfect time, with the opening of the new Zara and Frasers concept stores on the horizon and even more to come."
