placeholder or not, it's still going to launch as an actual channel and likely have actual adverts on it.

What makes you think it'll have adverts? I can't imagine advertisers lining up for this, at most they'll give it away as a crap freebie to clients of ITV's other channels.

It is quite high up the EPG though.

Here's some more news about Merit: The hours are now back to what they were supposed to be, 9pm to midnight.

However, ITV3+1 still broadcasts a three hour service, so...

And also, the Freeview website says changes are going to be made to the service, but we don't know what changes.

Is it still on Channel 34? I can’t seem to find it

I've seen elsewhere a report that it has moved multiplex, so a retune may be required - assuming you get COM7. I haven't had chance to check myself.

Update - confirmed by a retune here

Guess it is no longer time sharing with CITV then.

Should I retune now, or?
