I couldn't see this listed anywhere else here so I thought I'd just post a quick bit of news that I picked up over at the ITV Press Department
ITV is to launch a new interactive gaming channel on April 19th 2006. The channel will be called "ITV Play" and will initially be available on Freeview only, later extended to Sky and Cable platforms. They will also be rebranding the throught the night Interactive Call-In Gaming shows on ITV1 and 2 to be called "ITV Play".
According to ITVs Annual Profits Report 2005 (released 8th March 2006), ITV Play will be on Mux D on the same bandwidth as currently used by Men and Motors. As to what will happen to Men and Motors, is anyone's guess. But it is favourite that it will be dropped from Freeview in favour of keeping all of the ITV branded channels available to DTT.
