More vacant Freeview slots on the way?

Shortly after concluding deals with ITV and Channel 4 for two new stations on the platform, the transmission company is now said to be poised to unleash two more.
The new slots have all been made available through advances in compression technology.
ITV and Channel 4 paid around £5 million each for their channels, beating competition from broadcasters including Five, Disney, NBC and Turner.
Now it appears that the losers will have a third - and fourth - chance to land a spot on Freeview, although once again ITV and Channel 4 are expected to show interest in the digital real estate.
Crown Castle has declined to comment on the "speculation."
