As an existing analogue channel, ITV were gifted capacity on Freeview. S4C were too, but ITV bought this from them. The only time ITV have to pay to be on Freeview is when this capacity is exhausted.

Just like the BBC, ITV isn't free; you're just paying for it in a different way. A way you can't avoid paying (unless you purposely avoid buying anything advertised on ITV  ) |
