I too, hope not. I do instead hope that caption can remain there - if not indefinitely, then for a few years at least!


That joke gets funnier every time somebody tells it. Every few minutes.

It's a shame they had to add the bit about hoping to be back soon!

Oh joy...oh bliss...but this would be more honest:

How can you put "ITV Play" and "honest" in the same sentence, same paragraph or even same forum?

One supposes the regional news tonight will be shorter in most areas because of all this...

I don't think the actual channel itself is that profitable actually when you consider the level of prizes and ITV have to shell out millions for the slot- it's the overnight slots on ITV1 where the money is made.


That is true, but the channel itself must make money, the programming is very cheap, the playout is very basic and it broadcasts on ITVs DTT space.

It rakes it in

On DigiGuide, ITV2's programmes have been replaced tomorrow night also. ITV1 has only changed for tonight.

On their Listings Issues service they stated that they would only change listings if they knew they were definite so maybe they have listings updates for Wednesday too and will put them out in tomorrow's update only if ITV don't tell them not to.

I didn't have listings for ITV Play, but they have removed them for today only (midnight-midnight).
