Such an arrangement will certainly devalue the new channel and if your report is true, I would not be surprised to see the time lag increased after a while.
I think ITV could get away with drama being aired a week or so before showing on ITV but if shown six months afterwards then ITV could be in danger of appearing to look like a slightly newer ITV3.
