I'd imagine some Kids content will remain on main ITV channel for its PSB obligations. Tends to be weekend mornings at the moment, I think.

It's the end of a 40 year era for CITV. It makes sense now why CITV didn't get a refresh along with the other channels last year.

This decision doesn't surprise me. My 7yo never watches the broadcast kids channels. It's streaming all the way so she can binge whatever she finds that she likes.

I had my letter yesterday going from £59 to £74...bear in mind any deal you get will have price rises written into the contract...meaning next year when they increase the price again you wont be able to leave.

It won't as DAZN have already stated the linear channel is seperate from the streaming service.

I’d not count on anything a fledgeling steamer drowning in its own debt says.

So who is incorrect , if yours could you advise how often that source is incorrect ? It will help in how much credence `we` give to information past on .

I would as they've already said the channel will be £9.99p/m on a 12 month contract or wait for it... £19.99p/m on a rolling 30 days contract.

Ah, we’re not interpreting it the same.

I interpreted MB as saying the mechanism the channel would be available - a linear channel in an app rather than an EPG number. Not in a package (like maxit).

Called Retentions and got a £15 a month discount until the end of my contract in Jan 2024, will have to see what they can do after my contract ends

I wonder how much Paramount+ will cost when it eventually comes to Virgin.
