Between now the March 28 deadline, potential owners of the new multiplex will have the opportunity to present their proposals.
Channel 4 has announced it is planning a range of branded stations, should it be successful, and is believed to be in talks with Emap and UTV. GCap is reportedly in talks with BT and Arqiva, and National Grid Wireless has expressed an interest, but has not revealed its partners.
