Published Monday, Nov 15 2004, 10:58 GMT | By Darren Shelley
Information TV has reached an agreement with the creators of Great British Television (previously known as The Great British Television Channel) allowing Information TV to manage the broadcast of the upcoming variety station.
As a result of the deal, the two channels will timeshare on the same EPG number. Great British Television will broadcast daily from 4pm until midnight and Information TV will use the spare hours of midnight until 4pm each day.
The name listed in the Sky EPG for Information TV will be changed to Great British TV in mid December. At the same time, the channel is likely to move to a lower EPG position.
