Archive:List of channels on ITV Digital
This is a list of channels available on ITV Digital’, a British terrestrial TV service owned by Carlton Communications and Granada plc. In 1998, it was originally launched as ONdigital, renaming to ITV Digital in 2001.
In March 2002, after a £315 million deal with the Football League, ITV Digital entered administration. All pay TV services were closed on 1 May. Free channels were still available and in October 2002, the multiplexes were taken over to create Freeview. In 2004, Top Up TV reused the old multiplex slots for its pay TV services.
This channel list dates to 1 May 2002, the day ITV Digital removed paid channels and is sourced from a video by a user called andrewcbo on YouTube.
