Ok I'm going to be the first one to ask!
Due to the demise of Bid and Price drop (such a shame.... Lol ) that leaves space on freeview for 2 new channels... But who will take them?
Sony? JML? More from CBS?

i would go with sony movie channel. to replace bid. but as price drop is on com 7. i would go with one of these to chartshow tv or sony movie channel +1.
I think ITV will gain LCN 26 under the associated channel rules.
After that it gets a bit complicated
But not on Freeview......
On Sky I think ITV Encore is going to be on channel 123 using the already ready channel "ITV4 Plus" on channel 193
They might join freeview when they get a high amount of viewers and free to air would make more money through advertising than being part of a subscription
What should replace it? CBS Action and CBS Drama or CNBC or The Vault.
Yesssss.....more job losses please. Deary me.
The chances are when a new channel replaces it they might hire extra staff anyway.
Plus these shopping channels could stay on air but only on Sky not Freeview.
But there should be a couple of general entertainment channels at night for those who work shifts or get up at the crack of dawn. ITV used to do this in its regions many years ago. Rolling news is often just a repeat on a loop as ITN News used to do. And Teleshopping is just the same product on many different channels.
I obviously don't mean it quite like that. I just mean if it became a choice between loosing peoples jobs, and spending money on a freeview slot, then they should choose the latter rather then the former....
The horror channel would be perfect for this....
They're not going to hire anywhere near as many staff as a shopping channel would.
What channel goes there would need a broadcasting licence for freeview and have the money to pay to be listed on freeview.
It depends if a company does buy the channels or the company, it is possible for the company to be bought still.
It depends on how much Sky will be paying ITV from the subscription. Sky wants more and high quality channels so that they can make their subscriptions more appealing. If Sky don't make being a subscription channel appealing for ITV Encore then ITV might decide to go free to air like what happened with channel 4's channels
Was thinking of freesat, but if it appeared on freeview I wouldn't bother.
