ITV on Sky in November

Monday, October 1, 2001

ITV will officially launch on Sky Digital on 27 November, according to reports. Tests will begin a month earlier of all 16 regional variations with the launch taking place four weeks later. It looks likely, at this time, that ITV will not fall under the Sky remit which will mean that the channel will be available to parts of Europe. Therefore, certain events, most significantly, The Champions League, would not be allowed to be shown via digital satellite. This is the latest in a series of negotiation breakdowns between ITV and BSkyB, the highest profile so far being the lack of a carriage deal to bring ITV Sport onto the Sky Digital platform.
