But, as I said, advertisers are interested in getting their message out to the highest possible number of viewers. Niche channels aren't really attractive to mainstream advertisers.

Sorry, I meant to say on national Freeview. It's true that there is unused capacity on the temporary muxes until 2020.
I wonder if the clearance of 700MHz will see the end of channels on Freeview like Keep It Country, Talking Pictures etc?
Star Gold/Plus/Bharat are now available on my EPG. Does anyone else have these (I'm on XL). I'm pretty sure they never used to be available and assumed that it was because News Corp own them and wouldn't let VM put them in mainstream packages like they have on Sky.
