Does anyone know the website which holds the table which shows you how much each Tv company bided

like TVam - £34million, GMTV £35mill

or STv £2000

Mine really soon. I will hopefully launch the website (How long have I been saying that lol) in the next month. Although someone will bound to put it up before then.

Is there any region in particular you are looking for?

Not really I know it somewhere because I show it last week, and it showed everyone bids!

Border, Scottish and Central were pretty clever as they found out there was no-one else bidding for their franchises and bidded £2000 each!

Where as Carlton got their Licence for £43,000,000 or so.

But AIUI the ITC/Ofcom have allowed cuts in the prices they paid, so I'm not sure how much they're paying now.

Funny how a lot of people thought they were won on money alone yet another company bidded higher than them and failed on quality control.

Thames Television £32,700,000

Wasn't it the case that CPV-TV were going to merge the East, London and the South into one huge macro-region with common playout and only regional news and a few sports programmes differentiating the three regions?

It's hardly surprising they were kicked out, but how ironic given what ITV became only about 5 or 6 years later.
