ITV4

Here we go again, it have been said that ITV have won the new slot on
Freeview along with channel 4.

I can see ITV4 is going to be as bad as ITV 1,2 and 3 and Ch4 is
thinking about a games channel.
What a waste, these two slots could have been used for something better.
Even expanding ABC1 would have been a better bet.

Just typical, money talks.

ITV3 is dire do I don't expect ITV4 will be worth watching, and we
certainly don't need a gaming channel. Not sure what they planned to do,
but I would have thought NBC or Disney could have come up with something
better. I'm surprised they didn't have the money to win it.

ITV3 is dire [...]

No it bloody isn't -- it carries welcome repeats of good programmes,
like Jeeves & Wooster, Foyle's War, and I could go on. It's ITV2 which
is the Pure ****e Channel.

I agree absolutely with the above but it depends on your age and ITV3 is not
intended for the the little pop twinkies but the grey and wealthy oldies.

Picky little sh*t aren't you, always looking out for grammar errors, ever
thought of getting a life, or actually giving a sensible response to the
OP's message.

Have ABC1 actual got more than six episodes of any one program?

As an occasional viewer of ABC1, every time I now switch to this
channel they are showing something I've already seen. I wonder how
people managed when there were only one repeat of a program per week?

The repeats of Chicago Hope and The Practice make the channel worth while
for me. I don't think I've ever watched anything on ITV2 for more than a
couple of minutes.

Channel 4 now have two slots (possibly 3 if they squeeze four slots onto
there half of multiplex 2 like ITV have done)

From Digital Spy :-

Option 1: More4
One of the two slots will definitely be used for More 4, a new factual
station launching in October. The channel, which has a budget of £30
million, will target the over-35s with a programme lineup including
original documentaries, drama "events" and a daily news bulletin.

Option 2: E4
The broadcaster recently outlined its intent to take flagship
entertainment station E4 free-to-air as part of a "long term strategy."
Indications have suggested that the move could occur before the end of
2005, however doing so would incur a penalty from Sky, who have an
agreement to carry E4 as a pay channel until 2008.

Option 3: Gaming channel
C4 has been in discussions with German broadcaster 9 Live about
launching a joint venture gaming channel following a successful
two-month trial on E4 last year. The idea is particularly favoured as an
alternative route of bringing in revenues.

Option 4: Movie channel
According to Broadcast, a newer idea is to launch a joint venture movie
channel with the BBC. A BBC spokesman told DS that the corporation had
"no comment" to make on the "speculation."


Lets play, guess what channel 4 will do :-

Multiplex 2 Slot 1 : Channel4
Multiplex 2 Slot 2 : More 4
Multiplex 2 Slot 3 : E4
Multiplex 2 Slot 4 : [TopUpTV] Film Four / UK Food / Bloomberg

Multiplex D : Movie Channel, with games channel during downtime

Shouldn't that be 'grammatical errors' ...?
