ITV and Channel 4 HD Plans

ITV and Channel 4 have submitted bids to regulator Ofcom for their Freeview High Definition services. It's planned that Freeview Multiplex B will be reconfigured to support HD before 2012.

The Beeb are set to get one channel, with ITV and Channel 4 after the other slots. ITV plans to simulcast their 6pm to 11pm slot in HD - By 2012 they're targetting 60-65% of their content being available in HD. Channel 4 plans to bring their existing 24 hour HD service currently on Sky Digital over to Freeview.
