Derek loves nothing more than punching a remote location into a GPS, queuing up some music and heading out on a long drive, so it's a good thing he's in charge of CNET Australia's Car Tech channel.

Foxtel has added to its suite of channels with a number of new and updated radio stations, as well as an additional free-to-air station for satellite customers.

From today (1 November 2011), Foxtel is adding four new replacement channels for its digital music service: So Fresh, Divas, Kids Zone and Fasterlouder. A number of other channels have also been rebranded and reformatted — a full list of stations can be found below. All stations do without ads and DJs.

According to a report from TV Tonight, Network Ten's secondary standard-definition channel, Eleven, is now being retransmitted to Foxtel's satellite subscribers. Eleven can be found on channel 131, but satellite subscribers still miss out on 7mate, Gem and One.
