I thought there was already an existing Granada branded channel in the Middle East? I know they have one in Australia too, although that maybe Granada UKTV. ISTR sometime back that the channel would be ITV branded though.

Quite interesting to have a look at their schedule, unsurprisingly they've got Corrie, Emmerdale and Jeremy Kyle, but they also have The Friday Night Project and another Granada production in the form of Coach Trip.

Yes it used to be Granada UKTV, this is just a rebrand, it's not a new channel (though it appears to be available in some new places).

ITV has never been involved in UKTV in Australia though some of its content has been shown on there.

How awful is that website, especially the photoshop bits they've done on the genre pages.
