With ITV going HD on satellite and its investment in ITVX, I wonder what ITVs plans for the +1s are long term on Freeview. If you look at COM4, after CITV, ITVBE is the only non +1 on that multiplex. Looking at PSB2, ITV+1 is the only +1 on it. If they want to get rid of the +1s, moving ITVBE to PSB2, and moving ITV+1 to COM4, in a non-regional version akin to BBC One nightlight would make sense.

Previously SDN was brought by ITV carriage revenues and the ability to launch additional channels and to later assist with its pension funds, but their latest financial report suggests that new carriage deals are worth less, selling off the slots they currently own to other broadcasters and retaining the carriage fees could be a way of increasing revenue from the SDN business.
