Why couldn't ITV3 and Granada Plus both have been kept on air???

Granada Plus - now says it's ITV 3 - and that some of the favourtie programmes will be on new channel - how do they generally know what are the main favourties - Will the ITV 3 channel still show the Crime shows as these were excellent - Poirot's, Quincy, Taggart, Blue Murder, and Columbo - to name but a few.  I was totally shocked yesterday when I turned on to watch Blue Murder and Taggart - this was my main viewing channel - and will be sorely missed - as of course some of Plus' programmes will be dropped - why couldn't they have kept both as I'm sure they would have got the viewing figures for both of them - I haven't seen anything on the ITV3 list that looks similar in content whatsever - a very disgruntled viewer in Scotland

Hi Aurelia

I feel the same way. I love Columbo and Poirot and was really enjoying the old Sherlock Holmes films being aired on Sundays an Granada Plus. Do we really need still more repeats of Peak Practice, etc.?

Hi BigMike

I got a so called answer to my question from another question on this site - so if you want to look at this link it seems to tell what I and others believe is the true story and not what BskyB has released
