Freeview will get ITV2+1 instead. Excellent!

Good riddance, but they are still going to broadcast the same old phone
scams on it late at night and this will be an hour after the lines have
closed. How can they justify doing that?



they will probably air 2 separate versions - so they will double up with
twice the crap!
i recall when itv used to show interesting things during the night worth
recording.....

How many people will loose their jobs as a result of the closure?

Quite a few will lose their jobs, I expect.

Far more won't be scammed of their hard earned cash / benefits.

A partial result surely? Time shifted ITV2 what a waste!

They could put their football out on ITV2+1 (not timeshifted, obviously)
and leave the 2/3/4 channels free for non-sport programmes. More
advertising revenue that way.

How about making ITV2+1 into ITV Sport instead.

Even better.

I wonder which mug was the last caller?

Problem with ITV's +1 channels is most of the time they have a blank
screen saying they can't show a program for legal reason.

Also satellite already has ITV2+1 and ITV3+1 and wonder if we'll get a
ITV4+1

Bring back Men and Motors to Freeview. ITV own that.

Personally I think of it as a stupidity tax.

Weird:

| Quiz channel ITV Play has been axed and is to be replaced by a new
| service, called ITV2+1, on Sky and Freeview.

and:

| The time-shifted channel will launch on Freeview on 15 March and
| satellite on 16 March.

Yet today is 14 March, and (as it has been for some time) ITV2+1
is currently broadcasting on Sky channel 211. ITV Play is still on 856,
broadcasting a just a static image.

I'm glad ITV Play has been axed, but another +1 channel is a waste of space.
Let's hope it's temporary.
