The ITC has announced its intention to advertise the Channel 5 licence at the beginning of April.

Following the advertisement and the issuing of the Invitation to Apply, applicants will have three months to submit their applications.

The ITC is now satisfied that potential applicants are aware of the extent of the problemsassociated with retuning or modifying video cassette recorders and other domestic equipment such as satellite receivers, and that serious consideration has been given to solving them. The ITC now intends to award the licence by the end of October. The winner is expected to be on air by the end of 1994.
