ITV to launch ITV1+1 channel
ITV will launch a one-hour timeshift of its main ITV1 channel on October 1.

ITV1+1 will launch on digital satellite and Virgin Media's digital cable service and run from 10:25 to 07:00 every day. GMTV's programming will not be timeshifted.

Six regional variants will be transmitted: London; "South East Macro" encompassing Meridian and Anglia; "West Macro" encompassing Wales, West and West Country; Central; a single region for Yorkshire and Tyne Tees; and a further single region for Granada and Border.

ITV1+1 will not be available in Scotland, Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands. Channel 3 franchises are operated in these areas by franchisees not part of ITV plc.
