It would matter to ITV, SDN is a lucrative business for them, and there is space that isn't paying currently.
It matters to many. Illustrated by the channel losing 28% of its audience on
all platforms by this one change on 1 platform.
There have been complaints along the lines of "my dad's favourite channel is 5Select and now it's not showing, why is this?" on Social Media.
Just because we don't watch doesn't mean it's not important to others, including the vulnerable.
