Be good to keep them separate.
If ITV channels went, that would be the end of VM (TV).

Re: VM to lose ITV as well?
No is the short answer to that as they won't be going IMO.

Agreed, Den. This is a sideshow and simply used by ITV to extract a bit more money.
This is all connected to the UKTV issue and that is why the ITV story should be on that thread.
The mods might like to join the two threads together with a modified title, maybe? These two debates are interconnected. This thread on its own won't come to much.

Only reason I sub to VM TV are premium channels Sky Sports, Sky Movies , BT Sport and for no other reason. I can Watch anything else I want to on freeview.

We can see the following - liberty global will buy BBC out of UKTV then axe all BBC made shows and use the All3Media library.
We can also see them takeover ITV.

ITV1 may stay - but the others are a different matter (and a load of rubbish !)
