I’m a bit surprised they are actually bothering to move the GMTV2 licence to ITV2. I’d have thought they might be able to get away with having it on ITV Be and just using it for LittleBe instead. That way, it’s on their most minor channel. I doubt Ofcom would have cared (despite ITV previously making the argument, successfully, that they should be allowed to reduce Children’s commitments on ITV 1 due to the existence of the CITV channel).

Ofcom doesn't have any issues with that anymore given that the new Media Bill says that quotas that now apply to ITV (like children's programming) can be simply applied online only and the quota is still met
