Crown Castle confirms C4's Freeview slot win
Published Tuesday, May 31 2005, 12:24 BST | By Neil Wilkes
The new station is being made available on multiplex C as a result of "improvements in infrastructure technology." ITV has already secured one extra channel via this method, and at least two more are now rumoured to follow.
"This is good news for Crown Castle and viewers of the Freeview service," said Crown Castle CEO Peter Abery in a statement on Friday. "We have been able to demonstrate our ability to deliver on one of our key strategic objectives and viewers of the Freeview service will have even more channels to choose from."
Dan Brooke, Controller of Digital Channels at C4, added: "Channel 4 performs more strongly on Freeview than any other multi-channel platform but additional capacity is scarce. We are delighted to have been awarded the new channel which will enable us to further extend Channel 4's unique brand into an increasingly digital world."
The new slot is available from June 1.
