No news yet as to which tp will be used.

There will be no GMTV2 content on ITV4+1. GMTV2 will continue to be carried on ITV4, but this will not be staggercast on ITV4+1, which will simply carry a caption between 07:00 and 10:24 stating that programming starts at 10:25.


Therefore ITV4 +1 will only operate 1025-0700

. (Its about the only good feature of DS these days )

Hi there, this stuff has been so interesting. I used to spend hours going through the stuff on DS, but here it is a lot more accessible (although did see you there on DS when scouring last night). I have to disagree with this comment though, cos DS:BB and its entertainment news is still pretty decent!! Just could not let that one slip through the net!!

Keep up good work though and see you over at DS (username same)
