As it's aimed at the "young and female" I guess we don't qualify

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
According to reliable poster AriusUK on the DigitalSpy forum, ITV will be launching at least one more channel on top of Encore and ITVbe but it won't be a movie channel. He correctly predicted further ITV channels would be coming after ITV Encore.

As for grammar criticism, we ALL make mistakes. But we can all also learn and improve.

Two interesting and opposite opinions and both valid. As I said, an interesting debate.

The original articles focused on pay tv with later articles suggesting a mix of pay and FTA channels. If you look at the DS article from June 2013 it quotes from ITV chief executive Adam Crozier's interview with The Mirror:
Quote:
|
"I think there are other potential channels we could do, both free and pay-for."
|
Reading through some of the articles it looks as if ITV were struggling to find suitable content for pay tv channels, with archive and drama being the favoured content. Some of the earlier articles suggested a male oriented channel to compete with Dave. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they announce further launches but wouldn't really expect them to all launch at the same time. Media Guardian also had a few articles discussing the various options if you wish to look them up.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
I too wonder where all of this content is coming from.
ITV already have a youth/female channel (ITV2) an archive channel (ITV3) and a male channel (ITV4), and some archive ITV drama looks like it is coming up on the UKTV Drama channel.
A 'reality' channel is maybe welcome if it shifts some of the dross (Essex, J Kyle, etc) off of existing channels - but what is lined up to replace it?
It will be interesting to see what 'new commissions' actually turn up on ITV Encore. They are very unlikely to achieve the success of 'Broadchurch' or 'Downton Abbey' if put out only on an exclusive niche channel.
