What in your opinion is good about introducing the ITV1 name here?


Its these lot who would think having an ITV1+1 would be good.


I certainly dont.

For ITV, that'd just be a case of "Been there, Done that . . . !".

If they could outbid SKY for the rights to all the footy, they'd be on to a winner.


Being over ambitious and bidding over the odds for football rights, is precisely what destroyed ITV Digital.
I seriously doubt that ITV would ever dare attempt to revisit that particular fiasco. It'd be corporate suicide!

In the eyes of Carlton & Granada/ITV PLC who as we all know would like these regions to be named ITV1. Its these lot who would think having an ITV1+1 would be good.


That's not what you said before:

and?
Does no one think having the ITV1 name in Scotland is good? Not even on a minor +1 channel? The scots soon got over S2 and are quite happy with ITV2

If UKTV can have pointless +1 channels why not ITV then? I cant say I blame them!

I think the single name ITV1 across the board would be a good start.

I think the ITV Network should be:

ITV 1
ITV 2
ITV 3 (Coming Soon)
ITV Gold (Rebrand of Granada Plus) or could be called ITV Classics
ITV News Channel
ITV Kids (7am - 7pm)
ITV Cinema (7pm -7am & using material once used on Carlton Cinema)

I could see that working.

I think ITV should sort out the Daytime schedule on ITV1 too.

CITV should run till 5:30PM. It needs the new soap as well, twice a day, like Neighbours?

sorry if I'm being a bit thick here but what do people mean by ITV1+1 ?

Does it run 1 hour after ITV1 ?

Yes. It's the same concept as the UKTV '+1' channels.
