	Digital Spy Forums - Four (10 Year?) National Freeview slots for just 155 Million.
		If anybody could get their hands on 51% of SMG and did then threaten to switch it away from ITV then ITV PLC would be pretty much compelled to make them a generous counteroffer.
		Meanwhile SMG is in absolutely no position to launch 4 new channels off its own bat so its only hope would be to realise value by selling the slots on.
		ITV Plc can't refuse to let SMG have their programming - its commisioned by the ITV Network, and shown on all ITV channels, in the same way the ITV Network commisions Taggart from SMG and is shown in all ITV regions.

		Apparently, ITV plc is only interested in the Scottish and Grampian franchises, but any sale would include Pearl and Dean, Virgin Radio, Ginger Productions and so on that ITV plc don't want (and can't afford).
		ITV plc are simply in no position to consider this - for a start, they intend returning somewhere in the region of £500 million to shareholders.
		It would also be the end of the brandclashing by being notified at the end of programmes of all things itv/itv.com and then have smg add their bit by adding stv.tv etc....
