From what you've said it sounds ripe for closure, they could just put The Americans onto ITV3, but the sudden FTA tests may indicate that ITV will try to go it alone as a FTA channel.

If ITV get a Freeview slot for it, it would end up on BT's platform by default!
Good points; I agree entirely about BT.

As for The Americans, that would be good to put on the main ITV channel, as I believe that only the first series was shown there. Given the small audience for ITV Encore, most people would welcome that as new programming.
