why on gods green earth, when film 4 is not available from sudbury until the 28th June 2012 in the somersham area are you broadcasting itv 1+ 1 on the somersham transmitter when you could be broadcasting film 4.

chris abrey: ITV1+1 is carried on Multiplex PSB2, as it has regional versions. The commercial multiplex that carries Film4 is a national service an cannot carry ITV1+1.
