Apparently, this is the second time that this has been done (the first being ITV), so maybe they will change the rules again to prevent this happening again.

A less convoluted method for ITV, which transferred the DTPS licence of "The Store" to AMC, who then took the opportunity to switch the LCNs of The Store and CBS Action. ITV had already run down "The Store" to a 1 hour placeholder, so AMC gained a better EPG slot and very little in the way of additional broadcasting commitments.
ITV is well placed to benefit from such moves as both a broadcaster and platform operator. Clearly ITV is looking for additional sources of revenue.
