ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
reassures DTT viewers
In
the wake of ITV Digital switching off its pay services the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ will
today broadcast a public information announcement on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
TWO, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Choice, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ FOUR and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ News 24 to reassure viewers of
its free-to-air services on the DTT (digital terrestrial television)
platform.
The
wording of the announcement is: "Following
the recent news about ITV Digital, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ would like to reassure
ITV Digital customers that they'll still be able to watch all the
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s digital channels on their equipment, including ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
TWO, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Choice, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ FOUR, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ News 24 and our two new children's
channels, CÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and CBeebies. Other free-to-view channels should
also still be available."
The
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ is seeking to ensure that all the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s free-to-view channels
and interactive services will continue to be available to all digital
terrestrial viewers. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ believes there is still a future for
the digital terrestrial platform - where audiences get digital TV
through their rooftop aerials - and hopes the ITC and the Government
will be able to resolve its long-term future, in the public interest,
as soon as possible.
