It would presumably be technically simple to give them LCNs, but whether ITV or BT/Sky would want to do that is interesting to ponder.The FAST channels I think will be there mainly to promote the newest shows- I imagine they’ll use one for, say 24/7 footage of the Big Brother reboot, or maybe to air extra World Cup matches. But I don’t see ITV going any further than that- getting extra LCNs will cost them money in fees to Sky/BT/Virgin. And with ITV’s big “digital-first” push, essentially opening new TV channels doesn’t really fit in.
