Re: [Merged] ITV3-coming to ntl??
I am coming into this very late so apologies. But, if anyone's still interested, I can give some background info.
We were planning to launch ITV3 yesterday to digital viewers only, which we did - channel 8 on Bromley and 118 on Langley.
We weren't told anything about Plus closing down until late yesterday, as it was happening. This was the same for Sky and Telewest customers. So, we had no time to prepare any kind of communication for customers. We now have messages up on both analogue and digital, which should be in all areas, saying that the channel is no longer broadcasting, and directing digital customers to ITV3.
ITV have asked us to advise the following:
Plus has become ITV3. ITV3 will show your favourite Plus programming as well as Hollywood Movies and great shows from the US. ITV3 is available on Freeview, Sky, ntl and Telewest, and broadcasts 24 hours a day.
I have a number for their duty office if anyone wants to ask them more specific questions, but they have advised that it is currently very busy, so PM me directly if you want this.
Our analogue customers have clearly been the most affected as they have lost a channel which hasn't been replaced. Apologies, but we simply didn't know that this would be the case and so it was never a part of our discussions so this is only being looked at now.
Someone else asked what plans we now have for the digital channel numbers that have been freed up, but I wouldn't think we would make any changes once the Plus channel (now with message showing on it) is removed, later this month.
