The Independent Television Commission has announced that by Tuesday’s deadline all fifteen ITV companies together with Channel 4, Channel 5, S4C and Teletext had confirmed their intention to launch digital services in 1998.
There will be six digital multiplexes, or ‘frequencies’, on which channels will be carried: the first will carry BBC services; the second has been reserved for ITV, Channel 4 and Teletext services; while the third will broadcast Channel 5 and S4C. The remaining multiplexes will be advertised at the end of the month and will open the door for new channels to broadcast.
ITV has said that it is looking at plans for new national and regional services and hopes to unveil these by the end of this year.
