BSkyB has revealed more details about the new channels it plans to launch in the autumn. Sky 2, Sky Sports 3, WBTV and The Weather Channel will join new channels produced by Granada *(Newsline 05/06). The eleven new channels will begin broadcasting between 16 August and 1 November.
These details coincide with figures released by the IPA which show that the non-terrestrial share of television viewing is increasing where some terrestrial channels are facing a decrease *(see today’s Newsline). A rise in BSkyB’s subscription fee is expected however to accompany the launch of these new channels
