You think the call centre is busy and discounts on the go just now are a lot, they’d be totally dwarfed by the complaints if ITV went off air.
It would have benefited neither party to pull the ITV channels without giving VM a chance to respond.

Oh yes, absolutely. The loss of the ITV channels would certainly have dwarfed the complaints about the loss of the UKTV channels, to the point where I think that it might have even threatened the continuing viability of the platform.
