Don't know how VM will get over this.
I don't think ITV is as popular as you believe.They rely heavily on the familiarity they have with the British public and are no longer the force they used to be.

They have been attempting a come back in the last few years, but decisions such as cutting off Virgin will sink the channel, I'm afraid.

If you were an ITV executive and came up with the idea that to boost advertising revenue, the company should cut off a significant part of its audience, you should not be surprised to lose all credibility overnight. How this idea got off the starting block, is a mystery to me, but whoever thought that one up should be looking for anothrr job before the inevitable happens.
