Can it really be that hard to get it done on time? I bet May passes and no site...


Building a web site is not an easy task. It's not like punching a few lines into an amateurish Microsoft Word document, adding a clashing background image and uploading it with the browser. LOTS of things have to be coded, videos have to be encoded, pages have to be rewritten...

etc.


....And ITV's a huge company with plenty of money. Either stick to a date or don't bother.

Yes, they've been messing around with the dates ever since they confirmed they were re-launching the website.

You mean itvmedia.co.uk
That was a waste of watching. (The only thing to make it great was to add when it was actually launching)

Stop posting, asking when it's going to be launched. What you've said just now has been said a thousand times in this thread, there's no need to say it again.
