Maybe be they would have to pay for them for every ITV region.


I don't see why. The BBC have had 16:9 national news for ages, and many regions are still only 4:3 capable ( ARC'd to 14:9).

Aside from the bitrate, I think I read somewhere that ITV broadcasts at only 540x576, instead of the full 720x576. It was a while ago though, so things may have changed.

They've not. The only exception is ITV -1 (and C4/C5) on Freeview. That's at 704x576, but only because Ofcom stipulate they must be. All the remaining ITV2,3,4 and F4,E4, M4 etc are 544x576 on both platforms.
