If accepted, 2008 could be a very different year. Who knows what Grade would do if the corporation didn't have to worry so much about amazing ratings? Less soap? Less reality? Bolder commissions?
What does everybody think about this?

ITV is expected to secure its much-hoped for review of the Contract Rights Renewal mechanism, according to The Sunday Telegraph.
The Office for Fair Trading will announce before the end of the summer whether CRR will be reviewed, but the newspaper quoted a Deutsche Bank analyst who said that a number of "vested interests have made the case that a weak ITV means a weak television industry."
