Not seen/heard anything about the ITVBE EPG slot.
Apparently, the delay in 5*+1 returning to VM is due to Viacom wanting to put it on channel 152. Research shows that +1 channels do much better if placed next to the main channel.
If Channel 5+24 closes, this won't be a problem. Viacom are going to have to decide what they are going to do with channel 5+24, or accept that either it or 5*+1 are going to be placed away from the rest of the channel portfolio.
I suspect (but don't know for sure) that this could be the extra stream that MB picked up so that things are ready to roll if/when Viacom and VM come to an agreement.
