CBS Justice is set to close on June 30th on Channel 69 so Freeview cant give ITV the channel number until September 22nd.

*Facepalm*
With UKTV having shown previous interest in channel numbers, e.g. the recent deal that pushed ITV4+1 to Ch89, I'd have thought Dave Ja Vu would be a more likely candidate for Ch69. Or Classic Hits, since they just bought Ch65 off Freesports. Or maybe even PBS. I can't see ITV wanting to go to much effort.
PBS just confirmed the move on social media (not that I didn't believe that it was in their newsletter).
