Most will be for interactive services, but I could see C4 launching a +1 service of the main C4 station and the new More4, plus possibly extending existing brands FilmFour, E4 and T4. (A specific T4 channel, a new FilmFour channel and maybe an E4 Live channel to cover events such as Big Brother Live and music festivals etc). C4 are also planning a new digital radio service.
The article also says that in addition to more regional and interactive services, ITV will also be adding a time-delayed version of ITV1 to their channel line-up. (I'd guess time delayed version of ITV2/3 wouldn't be too far behind!)

Channel 4 is hiring space on the Astra 2D satellite for about 14 channels, though the number will depend on the use of interactive services, which can demand nearly as much capacity as a broadcast channel. The government-owned channel has no immediate plans to launch new ventures on 2D, but the satellite is running out of capacity and the broadcaster booked the space as an insurance policy.
